The UK relies heavily on what is called the “cold chain” storage: a network of 460 large warehouses that process and store half of all the nation’s food.
Could you credit the people in your videos please. I'm sure you'd do this in print.
Is any of our infrastructure adequate? It seems to have significant weaknesses in all areas.

It's pretty eye-opening to see how much we rely on such a small number of warehouses for half our food. Really makes you wonder how resilient the system actually is if something goes wrong. Do you think we need more regional hubs to spread the risk?

Absolute eye-opener seeing how much we rely on those 460 warehouses just to keep the shelves stocked! It really puts the scale of our food security into perspective. Do you reckon the system is robust enough to handle a major disruption, or are we cutting it too fine?
