Martin Collison spoke at the RAU event focused on the rural economy of Gloucestershire, at the first Let’s Grow event, which attracted 85 delegates from business and the rural community. The event marked the start of a 6 month project to gather evidence on the scale and potential of the Gloucestershire rural and agrifood economy to help inform future LEP policy. Tamsyn Harrod of Boom Circle also spoke alongside Martin on emerging thinking on the food chain and how Gloucestershire could develop a food strategy.
