An opportunity to help ensure the white paper reflects a range of experience, priorities, and ideas across protected edible production.
The GIC hosted a national workshop at Edge Hill University in partnership with West Lancashire Borough Council and brought together growers, researchers, retailers, policymakers, and technology providers to explore the future of protected edible production.
The aim was to identify shared challenges, uncover practical opportunities, and develop early recommendations to help this vital part of the food system become stronger, more sustainable, and more resilient.
GIC are now seeking wider input on the outcomes of that workshop through a public consultation. Your insights will help shape a sector-led white paper. Consultation closes on 31st October 2025.
