Priority workstreams

The Sector Council has identified seven priority workstreams, each of which will be led by one of the Council members and supported by an 'anchor' organisation.

To support the delivery of the above workstreams, there will be a focus on:

  1. Availability of the industry's and Government's non-competitive research, insight and data
  2. Mapping of Government and industry organisations, initiatives and resources across the agri- food chain
  3. Mapping of Government strategies and policies to which the Sector Council can align and support
  4. Industry-wide communication and engagement programme
