The new food box has been launched to support vulnerable and self-isolating customers, as well as those limiting trips outside of the home, the British Farmers Food Box will also support UK farmers who have been struggling since the outbreak of Covid-19.

Chief Executive of Morrisons, David Potts, said: "Being the biggest customer of British Farming, we want to help farmers while also playing our full part in feeding the nation.

Director of The Prince’s Countryside Fund, Claire Saunders, said: "We are immensely grateful to Morrisons and their customers for backing British farming.

"This contribution will allow us to support farming groups across the UK - including the five Farming Help charities.
