Statement from the AIC on the release of the National Food Strategy report

The Agricultural Industries Confederation (AIC) welcomes the release of the National Food Strategy. It contains a number of fundamental challenges posed towards our food and agricultural systems, which UK agri-supply businesses are addressing in many ways.

It is encouraging that the Strategy recognises the need for a competitive domestic agricultural industry. From improving on-farm nutrient management, Integrated Pest Management, livestock feed efficiency and research and development, AIC members look forward to working with Government to ensure this competitive position can be achieved.
