The UK is “sleepwalking” into a food supply crisis, the country’s union for farmers and growers has warned.
Ahead of an emergency press conference on Tuesday, the National Farmers Union (NFU) said the Government needed to step in to assist primary producers under severe strain from soaring fuel, fertiliser and feed costs.
Union president Minette Batters said egg shortages “could just be the start” as multiple farming sectors were impacted.
