Supermarket chain Morrisons have stated their intention to recruit more than 200 UK based suppliers, after reports show that almost half of food in the UK does not come from local sources. The report also cited uncertain economic and political climates as putting the food supply of countries at risk due to the increase in global trading. This has been demonstrated by the recent severe weather in southern Spain, which then had serious ramifications for the UK market. It has been said however, that even if all UK grown produce was consumed within the country, it would actually fall two thirds below the amount necessary.
