Highlights
from the awards will be broadcast on 主播大秀 Radio 4's The Food
Programme on Sunday 1 December at
12.30pm.
Thousands
of nominations were received from listeners to Radio 4's The
Food Programme and Farming Today, as well
as readers of the 主播大秀 Good Food Magazine.
The
judges had a difficult task picking just one winner for each category.
John Henderson, farmer and chairman of the 主播大秀's Rural Affairs Advisory
Committee said:
"As
a farmer and a land owner I really feel these awards are of great
value. They highlight the importance that food has in the wider
sphere of life which people may not realise; such as in food education,
feeding the elderly and infirm healthily, and how school children's
diets may affect their behaviour.
"There
is a large gap between people who try to produce food and those
who buy it. The Food Programme has always tried to bridge this gap
and is making a tremendous effort which is demonstrated in these
awards."
Radio
4's You And Yours programme mounts a debate on
'The Future Of Food' broadcast from the Good Food Show which will
be broadcast on Friday 29 November at 12
noon.
Four
panellists take questions from the audience on issues such as the
cost of organic food, GM safety, affordability of good quality food,
and the viability of buying local produce.
