Pupils analyse data provided by the ONS to analyse the impact of supply chain issues in the food industry.
Scenario
You are a student in a rural community with strong ties to the farming and food industries. In order to get more young people interested in the food industry, a local food manufacturer has launched a competition at your school that requires entrants to submit an essay on how inflation during 2022-23 has impacted the food industry. As part of the competition, you have been provided with some data provided by The Office for National Statistics (ONS).
