Discussing a bittersweet Brexit

The first Food Thinkers talk of 2019 will be given by Charlie Clutterbuck on ‘Bittersweet Brexit: Where are we heading with our food and farming?’

Charlie Clutterbuck’s talk will focus on the role of human labour in farm and food provision, asking:

• Why did it barely feature in UK politics of food when it is so central to how the food system actually works?
• What does this say about UK food policy debate?
• Was the silence about food labour part of what delivered the 2016 Brexit referendum vote?
• What are the food labour issues which now need to be addressed, whatever happens in Brexit politics?
• How can we make labour more central to our understanding of the transition to a sustainable food system?
