Answer
Investment in global food security supports stable, sustainable and resilient global food markets to the benefit of British farmers, exporters, and consumers. For example, for each £1 the UK invests in CGIAR, the world’s leading agricultural science and innovation organisation, UK farmers receive between £1.60 and £2.40 in benefits driven by increased UK productivity in the production of wheat, dairy, beef and pulses.
