| WHO WILL PICK YOUR FOOD IN THE FUTURE? |
|
| It's a staggering statistic - Britain needs 80,000 seasonal workers to harvest the nine million tonnes of fruit, vegetables and flowers produced each year. NFU President Meurig Raymond is imploring the government to "establish a system to enable sufficient recruitment of seasonal labour before Brexit". But with Britons unwilling to labour in our fields, who will pick our crops in the future? |

| We had a great response to Back British Farming day with MPs pledging their support to the farming industry. Now it's your chance to back British Farming and we'd love to hear from you. So why not take a selfie and tell us why British farming and food is important to you. Tag us on Facebook using @NFUOnline or share your video here. To help you out, we've created a short video with tips on recording your perfect selfie. |
