Talk Farm Episode 3: What will Trump’s tariffs mean for UK agriculture?

Prior to President Trump’s inauguration in late January, we caught up with Ed Barker, Head of Policy and External Affairs at the Institute of Agricultural Industries Confederation.

Ed’s role places him at the intersection of those at the ‘coal face’ of agriculture and those making decisions in parliament and further afield.

This episode of Talk Farm, hosted by HCR Law Partner James Frankland, looks at a range of domestic and international developments and how they’re impacting UK agriculture, including continuing Brexit aftershocks, the new face of Defra, and of course a change of hands in America.

Tune in to hear about tariffs and trade, developments in gene editing, and why everyone’s talking about Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.
