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:

Rising restaurant, food and tobacco prices continue to drive inflation, while energy costs help offset increases
