Food system ‘close to collapse,’ Polanski warns as figures show costs to rise 170% by 2050 GREEN Party leader Zack Polanski warned food workers today that their industry is “close to collapse” and called on the government to counter the twin threats of climate change and low pay.In a speech to delegates at the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union (BFAWU) conference, Mr Polanski said workers in the sector had been “sneered at.” He pointed to new research from the Auntonomy Institute which predicts that the price of British fruit and vegetables could rise by 170 per cent by 2050 as the climate crisis becomes the main driver of inflation. https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/food-system-close-collapse-polanski-warns-figures-show-costs-rise-170-2050
