Co-operative Party Report Calls for Agricultural Co-ops to Boost UK Food Security

A Co-operative Party policy report calls for expanding agricultural co-operatives in the UK to improve food security and reduce import reliance. The report highlights 526 existing co-ops generating £9bn income, with only 62% of UK food grown domestically. It cites Middle East conflict-driven fertiliser costs as a reason to build farmer resilience through collective resource pooling.
