28 September 2020 Question Future of Britain - Food Policy
Topic: Future of Britain - Food Policy
Food production is one of the areas where hitherto public policy has largely been set by the European Union. Now that the UK has left the EU, it will have to decide for itself the rules and regulations that apply to food and farming in Britain.
This is one of the topics covered by our project on the Future of Britain after the EU referendum: https://www.whatukthinks.org/eu/future-of-britain-project/
This section covers public attitudes towards what foods should be grown and sold in Britain, and how the government should support farmers, including data collected by the Future of Britain project.
