Martin Collison ran 2 workshops at the Rural Services Network Conference in Cheltenham in early September on how short food chains can help deliver economic growth. Speaking about the EU H2020 funded SKIN project as well as Food Enterprise Zones, Martin stressed the role that investment beyond the farm gate held real promise for agriculture and food companies as the market for food traceability grows.
