Description
The news comes after Morrisons, McDonald’s and the NFU founded the School of Sustainable Food & Farming at Harper Adams University, Shropshire in 2022 to support farmers to produce food more sustainably. It followed a report by Lord Curry of Food & Farming Futures, who worked with Professor James Lowenberg-DeBoer and Professor Michael Lee from Harper Adams to examine how agriculture can be supported and co-ordinated to address the productivity gap in UK agriculture.
The School has already had great success in welcoming more than 100 farmers to Morrisons stores where events have encouraged networking, engagement and helped provide the farmers with a deeper understanding of the journey their produce goes on from their farms to supermarket shelves. A further calendar of events is planned for the upcoming months.
