    The Impact of Brexit on the U.K.’s Food System

    Last weekend, the British restaurant critic Jay Rayner tweeted : “I've just received a press release for a new type of cheese. On a Sunday afternoon. In the middle of a political crisis. Admirable optimism.” Rayner’s tweet was in response to Brexit, the referendum passed by British voters to leave the European Union.

    Last weekend, the British restaurant critic Jay Rayner tweeted: “I've just received a press release for a new type of cheese. On a Sunday afternoon. In the middle of a political crisis. Admirable optimism.” Rayner’s tweet was in response to Brexit, the referendum passed by British voters to leave the European Union. City University London’s Tim Lang co-wrote the paper “Food, the UK, and the EU, Brexit or Bremain?” and shares his take on the impact of Brexit on the food system in the United Kingdom.
