The National Farmers Union (NFU) has submitted data to the House of Commons agriculture committee which details how much retail food prices have risen compared to the prices that farmers receive for their goods.

It's been getting worse and worse for months.
It's not all Brexit, it's the supermarket buying strategy that sources from hundreds of small suppliers who are therefore wholly dependent on the contract.
If they all simultaneously decide it's not profitable and stop production, the supermarkets aren't agile enough to deal with that.
The #NFU has been warning them for years.
They didn't listen
Grow your own. That's the solution

#NFU president Minette Batters warns that the UK is "sleepwalking" into a food supply crisis, but not reported are the factors behind this. #Brexit is an obvious one, but the #Agriculture crisis goes deeper than this. #Farming
