@vickihird Tell me @vickihird is this the very same ABF who own British Sugar, who applied for a neonic derogation for the 4th year running, whilst, as sole British sugar producer, ‘negotiated hard’ with British farmers on the beet price?
@vickihird @AndyWoodturner I guess you know they own Primark?
@vickihird @Davidwalsh16 I wish this line had been higher up the article!
@vickihird Nothing to do with paying farmers to not grow food then? @harrym_vids youtu.be/xJCrfujVZIk?fe…
@vickihird No shortage of £ in the food system - but companies upstream of the farm gate demand not only profits, but increasingly large, eye watering ones regardless of market conditions.
