Geopolitics, Environment & Food Security: The Future Drivers of UK Agriculture - Groundswell 2026

Speakers: Rosie Boycott and Tim Benton We are living through turbulent times in international affairs, where geopolitics and environmental drivers are affecting supply chains as well as market and political forces. Is the future going to calm down or get worse? And what does a more volatile world mean for UK agriculture and the drivers of transition towards more sustainability? This session will start with a 30 minute talk by Prof Tim Benton analysing the broad political and geopolitical context that shapes agriculture, followed by a discussion chaired by Lady Rosie Boycott.
