Farming is essential to food production

Supporting our industry means supporting producers and IGD is committed to helping farmers and small food producing businesses by sharing best practice, supply chain expertise and consumer insight.

Modern farming is business focused, technically proficient and environmentally aware. Over half a million people are employed in the industry which contributes more than £5bn to the economy.

Farmers and producers operate within a changing global economy and face many challenges as we move into an era in which the ability of food production to meet population needs comes under scrutiny. At IGD, we believe that our knowledge and insight can inform and inspire producers to rise to these new challenges and continue to reap the rewards for the central role they play in the food and grocery industry.
