Oxford Farming Conference Emerging Leaders Podcast

NFU Scotland President, Andrew McCornick speaks to the CEO of IEMA and OFC Director Sarah Mukherjee about the consequences for British agriculture, if the UK fails to agree trade deals post-Brexit.

Tune in to find out more, and why Andrew feels we can, and need to, do better when it comes to self-sufficiency in UK agriculture.
