[QUOTE="Hawkes, post: 6651750, member: 5094"] Guy gave a good speech, off the cuff with no notes. A very interesting talk by a pro farming professor , whose Nuffield report I mean to look up and re-read, a very useful talk from an AHDB lady giving us lots of statistics on food trends. The interesting thing is vegan is not growing dramatically but bumbling along at pretty much the same levels. The supermarkets are generating lots of noise because they make more profit from those lines, now there's a surprise. The pasty man was good at promoting his wares and entertaining but not much help in what direction we should all be aiming. The most horrifying statistic was that the UK appears to eat double the percentage of processed food than pretty much anywhere except Mexico. Obesity/diabetes etc etc Then a very good lunch followed by the AGM and NFU housekeeping. Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch? What's not to like, a warm room out of the rain and a chance for an aged agric to be educated and fed. All good for me! [/QUOTE]
