Food campaigners take stock of the post-Brexit landscape

From shock to determination - read how Sustain members have responded to the EU vote 

Since the referendum, members of the Sustain alliance have been reflecting on the implications of Brexit for their organisations, for food policy, and for the prospects for a more sustainable food supply. What emerges is a determination to campaign with redoubled force for a fairer, greener, more accountable food supply. Links to some of their responses are below.
