Many hands go into making our food – and those hands are not always looked after. At issue is not just a capacity question of who will grow and make our food, but an ethical question of how they will be treated. Brexit puts the issue in sharp perspective, particularly in relation to migrant labour.
Key questions we will explore include:

How will we get people with the right skills to make our food in the future? What can be done to skill up people? How can we make the farming, food, fishing and catering sectors exciting and attractive places to be?
How can we ensure workers are treated fairly? How do we ensure fair pay and treatment of workers without making food exorbitantly expensive for people to buy?

How can we imagine better for today’s (and tomorrow’s) food workers…?
