PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Agriculture: Food Supply (24 July 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether he plans to continue the annual farm to fork summit.

Asked by:
Steve Barclay (Conservative)

Answer

Confidence among farmers is at an all time low. We need a resilient and healthy food system, that works with nature and supports British Farmers. The only way to do this effectively is to listen to farmers and others with a stake in our food system, countryside and nature. This Government will introduce a new deal for farmers to boost rural economic growth and strengthen Britain's food security. We will: cut energy bills by switching on GB Energy; protect farmers from being undercut in trade deals; and use the Government’s own purchasing power to back British produce.
