What is the true cost of food in a world facing war, inflation, and climate change? Jonathan Thomas discusses the ethics of food production with a panel of guests: Elizabeth Myendo is Tearfund's lead for disaster management in Southern and East Africa; Gerald Miles is an organic farmer based near St Davids; Victoria Shervington-Jones is a poultry farmer based near Newport, whilst Simon Bowkett is a chaplain and an upload beef and sheep farmer based in West Wales.

In Britain, as in many other parts of the world, we have become accustomed to a ready supply of food on supermarket shelves at all times of the year, and at low prices. But with rising inflation - affecting not only consumers pockets but farmers' overheads - that situation may no longer continue. Combined with the effects of global warming and the climate crisis, some countries in Eastern Africa are facing severe droughts and catastrophic crop failure. And nearer home, the pressures on farmers are intense. Jonathan Thomas discusses the ethics food production and the extent to which Biblical teaching can give encouragement to growers.
