Extract

The overall title for these sessions is “Reconnecting the food chain linking farmers scientists and consumers”. Reconnecting the food supply chain was probably the strongest single message to come from the UK Government’s Policy Commission on the Future of Food and Farming (Anon., 2002). Progress on the Policy Commission’s recommendation to establish a Food Chain Centre will no doubt be reported by Dr Segal from DEFRA. The real task of linking farmers, scientists and consumers, however, cannot be accomplished by Government. It is not sensible to expect Government to take on such a role: have we not all got voices?
