BBC Radio 4 - Farming Today, 20/05/23 Farming Today This Week: Interview with the prime minister and reaction to the Food Summit at Downing Street

Reaction to the Food Summit at Downing Street and interview with the prime minister.

This week farmers and food producers were invited to Downing Street to discuss the whole food chain; from the high costs farmers are facing to produce food, to the shortage of labour for harvesting and processing, and from trade to supply chain transparency.  We speak to the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, about his commitments to British food.  Was it a photo op or a serious meeting? We hear reaction from those who were there, and from those who weren't invited.

Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
