Despite a challenging 2020, with the fallout from changing consumer habits and the loss of much of the hospitality industry, agriculture as a sector was much less impacted than many others. HSBC’s UK Head of Agriculture, Martin Hanson, meets with arable, dairy and beef and sheep industry expert contributors from farm consultants Andersons, to discuss their insights into these key subsectors.
In the first episode of Talking Agriculture, the participants discuss the threats, opportunities and challenges that are likely to affect and shape the sector in 2021; covering a broad array of topics from basic payments and Brexit, through to subsidies and veganism.
