How will Defra’s recently published Water White Paper impact on irrigation in the UK? What additional pressures on producers will the growing interest among processors and retailers bring as they see water shortages disrupting their fresh produce supply chains, and their reputation and ability to meet customers’ demands? Defra, the Environment Agency, farmers/growers, processors, and retailers all need to share the future water agenda to secure a fair share of water for agriculture. Come and hear the views of leading players in Defra, the Environment Agency, growers, processors, academia, and retailers on how they see the future of water along the agricultural supply chain.
