Brexit: A vortex for UK food and farming

Summary:

Food and farming has not been high on the Brexit agenda to date and is currently suffering from a Cinderella status in negotiations, argue Professors Terry Marsden and Kevin Morgan. Here they maintain that an urgent debate is needed about its future given that it is a sector critical to future employment, public health, ecological integrity and social justice.
