Dr Carmen Hubbard, Newcastle University
Agriculture will face new challenges now that the UK has left the European Union (EU). Brexit will also affect the source and price of our food. Under the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), British farmers benefitted from generous subsidies. Is Brexit a blessing or a curse? This lecture provides insights into some of the issues, focussing on how CAP has shaped UK agriculture over the past half-century and the changes that are likely to ensue as a result of Brexit.
