The Wholesale Panel: Growing Routes to Market for Agroecological Produce

Wholesale and procurement are important parts of the supply chain that we need to grow if we want to scale and mainstream agroecological produce in the UK. Building these routes to market is not easy, but changes such as the new Procurement Act may make a positive difference. Join Better Food Traders to hear from four pioneers of wholesale and procurement, to learn how they succeeded and the pitfalls they negotiated along the way. There will be time for Q&A at the end.

This event is support by Farming the Future.
