Farming Today visits the Oxford Farming Conference where farmers are saying shoppers should expect to pay more for food. In the last 12 months food prices have increased by an average of around 6%. Charlotte Smith talks to Agriculture Minister Jim Paice who is calling for an investigation into why shoppers in the UK seem to have seen bigger price hike than other countries in Europe.

The Oxford Farming Conference has taken place in the city for almost 70 years. This year it has commissioned a report by Dr Alan Renwick from the Scottish Agricultural College, looking at who holds the power when it comes to global agriculture and how those companies impact on what we pay for the food we buy. Charlotte Smith asks whether voters or shoppers have any power at all, and talks to delegates about the prices they get for the food they produce on farms across the UK.
