UK Farming is now in an endgame-level crisis, and UK Food Security, or the guarantee that we will always have enough Food for us to eat, has disappeared out of the door.
The problem is we don’t even know it. We are experiencing a kind of Situational Bias on a mass scale, and many of those who hear the term ‘Food Security’ believe that the subject is about something entirely different.
We certainly don’t accept that the problems our Farmers face are even bigger than the Farmers themselves accept them to be.
Written and Published between the UK Budget on 30th October 2024, when the now infamous changes to Farm Inheritance Tax were announced, and The Farmers March in London on 19th November 2024, Who Controls Our Food Controls Our Future unpicks the layers of truth that surround and influence The Food Chain.
Using the metaphor of The Food Chain Onion, Adam peels back the layers to expose the roles and motives of a significant list of People and 3rd party organisations that influence what we eat, how our Food gets to us, what we pay for it, when and if we can afford to access it.
Sharing the many Food Chain Myths, Narratives and Shibboleths that are gaslighting us into accepting the many carefully crafted stories that govern our relationship with the Food we eat, Adam opens the door to understanding that Food Production and Supply is now so complicated, The Food Chain has become the perfect place for greed, profiteering and other maligned interests to hide and profit excessively whilst reshaping OUR Future – all in plain sight.
None of us can eat money to survive. No matter how much money we might have.
