Abstract

The Agricapital Group, affiliated to the British Society for Social Responsibility in Scinece (BSSRS), arose from a series of meetings to explore the polotical forces affecting food production and consumption from a broad socialist perspective in 1975-76. The meetings drew people directly involved in farming and food distribution, from the ecological movement, and from academic backgrounds, such as agricultural research, nutrition and economics. Debate on the left about farming and food production had become bogged down in single issues, like land ownership or a cheap food policy; although these were, and are, important subjects there eas a need to set them in a wider framework.
