Motion text

That this House notes that it is vital that the entire food supply chain has the skills and business efficiency to meet the demand for food security resulting from a rising global and domestic population and the effects of climate change; is concerned that the skills needs of the food production, processing, manufacturing and retailing industries are not being recognised; calls for the value placed on these industries by the Government to match the value of their contributions to the UK economy and food supply; and further calls for future Government food strategies to recognise the importance of the entire food supply network as well as the skills gaps and shortages which need to be addressed.
