As the demand for locally sourced food continues to grow, The Countess of Wessex, the new President of the Royal Bath & West Show, is set to introduce speakers at a series of retail seminars at this year’s Show, aimed to build stronger links between farmers and supermarkets.
The three seminars, due to be held on the 2, 3 and 4 June at the Royal Bath & West Show near Shepton Mallet in Somerset, will include speakers from Marks and Spencer, The Co-operative and J Sainsbury’s who will address the challenges that both food producers and major retailers will have to face together in the future. Local farmers and food producers will also have the opportunity to learn from best practice case studies illustrating positive examples of cohesion in the food chain and will receive advice on how to become suppliers to some of the country’s best known supermarkets.
