Warning from farming representative
Governments and consumers have become complacent about food being cheap and readily available.
That's the warning from a former representative of the Manx National Farmers' Union.
Ffinlo Costain is now part of Farmwell, an online group working to help businesses stay afloat in times of change.
Mr Costain says the economy and the environment mean changes have to be made:
Business confidence cools as costs climb and demand outlook weakens, survey finds
Rising labour and energy expenses dominate concerns, while optimism around future demand and profitability remains muted
Treasury eyes tougher immigration rules to tackle 'risks' facing system
Higher pay requirements and stricter dependant policies to be reviewed by Council of Ministers
MHKs challenge MiCard scrap after constitutent dissatisfaction
Claims of 'pressure selling' and a political 'scramble' emerge
Neonatal Care Leave 'would have been invaluable to us as a family'
Government is proposing legislation to allow up to 12 weeks of extra parental leave to those eligible
