Author and food critic Jay Rayner tells Charlotte Smith why he believes it's time for a completely fresh look at food production post-Brexit. He wants to see producers and retailers taking their 'carbon footprint' into account as part of pricing and labelling, right along the food chain. He'll say we'll see the end of ultra cheap food as we've known it in recent decades, but the future of the planet depends on us cutting down on foods that harm the environment.
If subsidies to farmers continue he says they should only be to reward progress on environmental or wildlife stewardship.

This is part of a special week of programmes on Farming Today that are exploring the environmental and farming opportunities that will come with Brexit featuring a line-up of special guests. During the week Princess Anne, Germaine Greer, Tim Martin, Jay Rayner and Sir Tim Smit will each explore some of the issues close to their heart relating to how we could look after our countryside, environment and produce food.
