The answer
Use Britain's farms, coastline and plant science base to build exportable food and agricultural technology.
- Food systems sit at the intersection of climate, health, security and trade.
- Rural and coastal productivity is a persistent regional economic gap.
- Britain's plant and marine science is stronger than its commercialisation record.

My UKIZ
The digital campus
Agritech & Future Food in Britain, as it stands today.
Food security, land use and rural productivity are national questions. Britain has strong plant science, real testbeds and comparatively few scaled agritech companies.
Every line below is a record with a date. Where UKIZ holds nothing, it says so rather than filling the space.
Sources and freshness
Every line above carries where it came from.
Records come from published sources: filings, university and Catapult pages, government announcements and organisation-supplied information, each marked as such. Inferred facts are labelled inferred.
