About the Podcast

Agonomics with David & Jack
Where agriculture meets economics
AHDB economists David Eudall and Jack Watts examine the stories behind the numbers from the world of agriculture.

As agri-food markets become more uncertain, driven by changing weather, geopolitics, energy costs and changing consumer demands, David and Jack track the latest trends and explain what it all means for our levy payer businesses. And what impact it has on consumers.

Each week the pair throw the spotlight on at least one sector, with the focus shared between arable, dairy, pork, beef and lamb as well as the wider farming industry. These sectors are ruled by the forces of economics and supply and demand which is why this podcast combines AGriculture and ecONOMICS.

Given commodity markets, their multi-annual cycles and key inputs continue to evolve, Jack and David draw on their combined decades of expertise to offer insight to help farmers and supply chains alike navigate the volatility and capitalise on opportunities.
