"I never thought I'd be in a position where I'm warning about the danger of sleepwalking into a food supply crisis." NFU President @Minette_Batters spoke in the @Daily_Express about the need for goverment to take British food security seriously 🚜 📰👉 ow.ly/RROr50MeP2L
Shockingly descriptive demonstration of the small margins for farmers and growers in producing our food from @BBCCountryfile @GrowingDirect @ProducedinKent @Minette_Batters @NFUtweets @NFUPolitical @medway_council @Kent_cc @GrowingKent_Med
Great piece on @BBCCountryfile this evening with @charlottebsmith - excellent and simple explanation of how challenging the economics in many areas of farming currently are 🇬🇧🚜 well done @vickihird and @UKSustain #BiteIntoBritish #BackBritishFarming
A brilliant piece by @charlottebsmith & @vickihird on @BBCCountryfile demonstrating the profit a farmer makes once the retailer & processor take their cut. This perpetual squeeze on farming incomes is pushing people out of business. We need to value food & the farmers behind it👇

Many thanks @RishiSunak for a really important meeting on UK food security👇 * Fair contacts for farmers & growers * Building & marketing the British food brand at home & abroad * Adding value to UK food processing * Ensuring #ELMS delivers for Food production & Environment
Great to meet @Minette_Batters @NFUtweets today. Farming is the lifeblood of our nation. As Prime Minister I will always back our farmers and make sure they have what they need to produce more high-quality, affordable British food.
Good to hear the Chancellor @Jeremy_Hunt speak so supportively of our farming industry at the @NFUtweets reception today with @Minette_Batters @HouseofCommons. I #BackBritishFarming 100% and look forward to my next meeting with local farmers in #WealdOfKent in January 2023.
