Food Parcels ( school meals )....Silence from British Farming?

[Tractorstant]

I am sure we have all seen the uproar that about the £30 food parcel that was delivered to a lady to feed her Children by a 3rd Party Caterer, if you haven't.... https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-55641740

Yet I can't find anywhere anyone from UK Ag saying, we will supply Carrots/Tates/Veg/Milk etc etc at cost or cost +5% to help out

Surely this is an opportunity to re-engage with the British public? Rather than bemoan that Tesco won't take them as they are the wrong shape and size or that the prices are low because we have an oversupply.

Is it just me or does the voice of British Ag need a good kick up the arse to jump on these opportunities?

Wasn't there a really long thread about this not too long ago?

The company behind the "packages" have some connection with the Footballer Rashford's Campaign apparently.
