It’s back British Farming Day. We are at a pivot

It’s back British Farming Day. We are at a pivotal time for the future of farming and the food on our plates. Nothing will determine this more than how the Government shapes trade deals with the EU and other countries around the world.
Food produced in the UK is produced to some of the highest animal welfare and environmental standards in the world. British Farmers have very robust levels of traceability which enable consumers to buy British food with confidence. British farmers are incredibly proud of the standards they produce food to, and consumers have made it clear they want these standards to be maintained, with more than one million signing the NFU’s food standards petition. If you agree that it is crucial that any food allowed into this country should be produced to the same high standards, otherwise British farmers will be competing against
imported food produced in ways that would be illegal in this country, have your say. #nfufoodstandardspetition #backbritishfarmingday #backbritishfarming #sustainable #biosecurity #safefarmingpractices #animalwelfare #planthealth #knowwhereyourfoodcomesfrom #haveyoursay
