"We currently have one of the safest food systems in the world, yet we are in danger of giving it up." Great article from @jimmysfarm in today's @MailOnline about the importance of not undermining our #WorldLeading standards in future trade deals 👏 ow.ly/g2Xi50A79ZJ [1/4]
"This is not about sentimentality. It is about accountability. And that is what we are going to throw away if we let big American producers export their beef to Britain without ensuring that it meets the same #FieldToFork standards as those upheld by our own farmers." [2/4]
"If the US gets its way in trade talks, Britain will be importing chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-pumped beef, pork from pigs fed growth-promoters, and grain treated with a plethora of pesticides and insecticides that are banned in the UK." [3/4] ⤵️ ow.ly/Orrs50A79Y8
"This makes a mockery of everything British farmers have been trying to do for the past 20 years and will cost us yet more of our food sovereignty." If you agree with @jimmysfarm, join nearly 1,000,000 people like you #BackBritishFarming ⤵️ countrysideonline.co.uk/back-british-f…

The government has launched its consultation into the administration of direct payments and a lump sum exit scheme payment for farmers. [Thread 1/5] nfuonline.com/news/latest-ne…
“As our agricultural support is overhauled, farm businesses across the country will be making life-changing decisions about the future of their farm or tenancy. We want to see a fair transition,” says our Vice President @ProagriLtd [2/5] Image
“No two farm businesses are the same, meaning each set of circumstances for a farmer considering a lump sum exit payment will be truly unique. We will now be consulting with our members extensively to understand their views on these proposals” - NFU VP @ProagriLtd [3/5]

“It's clear negotiators from Australia & New Zealand are sticking firm to their hardline demands for the complete removal of tariffs on all their exports to the UK. This would make life unbearable for small British family farms” - @Minette_Batters. [1/4]
dailymail.co.uk/debate/article…
“The plain truth is this: removing tariffs for vast, unmanageable volumes of Australian beef or New Zealand lamb – or, God forbid, allowing zero tariffs on all their produce – could spell the end.” [2/4]
“The Government says it wants to 'level up' Britain. But this can never be achieved by throwing our family farms under the bus,” says @Minette_Batters who is proud of British farming's high standards. #BackBritishFarming [3/4]

BREAKING NEWS: After extensive campaigning by the NFU the government has agreed to put in law a system that means each new free trade deal will be scrutinised by parliament for its impact on animal welfare and British farming before it’s ratified. nfuonline.com/news/latest-ne…
The Trade and Agriculture Commission will be put on a full statutory footing and will provide a report that will be laid in Parliament before the start of a 21-day scrutiny period under the terms of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act.

🆕 Food standards campaign update 🆕 Yesterday, the House of Lords voted overwhelmingly on an amendment to the Agriculture Bill which will strengthen the role of the Trade and Agriculture Commission. [1/4]
So what does this mean? It means that for the 1 million of you who signed our petition and the 78,000 of you who emailed your MP to get this commission set up, we are one step closer to achieving our goal. [2/4] countrysideonline.co.uk/back-british-f…
If the amendment goes on to be approved by MPs in the House of Commons in October, the Bill will give the Commission the power to provide Parliament with independent advice about the impact every future trade deal will have on British food and farming standards. [3/4]
