3. There can be no gastronomy without food producers

Britain’s food and drink industry is the country’s biggest manufacturing sector by turnover, valued at £104.4 billion. It is larger than the automotive and aerospace industries combined. There can be no British gastronomy without British food producers and growers, good gastronomy serves to enhance the finest products and celebrate growers and good farming practices. 

Outstanding gastronomy relies upon all food sectors including arable and livestock production, aquaculture and fisheries, and the agri-food industry. It also relies upon excellent soil health through organic and regenerative farming practices.
