Food security: How to balance profitable food production with care for the environment

In this episode, we are discussing food security – and the need to balance profitable food production with care for the environment.

Agriculture faces a defining decade – with farmers expected to do much more than simply produce safe, affordable and nutritious food. 

Growers and livestock producers are increasingly required to provide environmental benefits too – as well as helping to mitigate climate change.

Discussing ways we can get this balance right are three special guests:

• Carl Atkin, chairman of the Institute of Agricultural Management
• Emily Norton, head of rural research at Savills
• Phil Jarvis, chairman of farming and the environment at Albanwise Farming

The Farmers Weekly Transition project is working to secure a more sustainable future for UK farm businesses.
