Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of attending the NFU - National Farmers' Union Food and Farming Fellowship graduation dinner in Westminster, celebrating my completion of this year’s programme alongside fellow graduates.
With farmers facing rising costs and the threat of Labour’s family farm tax, it is more important than ever that we stand alongside them and champion British food and farming in Parliament and our communities. The Fellowship gives newly elected MPs the chance to see first-hand how sustainable, affordable food gets from field to fork, and to understand the daily challenges our farmers face.
A huge thank you to NFU President Tom Bradshaw, the Commodity Board Chairs, and all the sponsoring organisations for supporting the programme. I will continue to do all I can to speak up for our farmers and back the future of British agriculture.
