No deal: what鈥檚 going to happen to our food?
Domino鈥檚 are stockpiling toppings but fresh food is most vulnerable to Brexit disruption.
Boris Johnson鈥檚 government is 鈥渢urbo-charging鈥� plans for leaving the EU without a deal at the end of October. People are asking each other if we鈥檙e going to have enough food, whether they should be stockpiling tins and if it鈥檚 going to cost more money. Companies are stockpiling ingredients and today supermarkets have asked the government to change the law so they can work together to stop stuff running out after 31 October.
David Gregory-Kumar tells us lamb farmers are particularly worried that a new tariff on exports could lead to a mass cull of Brexit lambs. We also speak to Daniel Saladino about what fresh tomatoes tell us about the intricate food system we鈥檝e built, and in what way we rely on Europe for the sunshine, the labour and even the bees that fertilise our food.
