Dear George Eustice

The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low prices is forgotten.

What is the true cost of cheap food? Is it the Quality? The environment? Animal welfare? Workers rights? The risk of disruption to supply from conflict or pandemic?
When will gov look beyond this parliament and instead of focusing on quick crowd pleasers adopt a sustainable food security model fit for consumers, producers and the environment.
This gov has shown that it has no interest in food security and seems oblivious to the risks of outsourcing our food production.

Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Government has set the rules - high welfare, quality and environmental standards, minimum wages and workers rights. Now government should play by their own rules and not undercut our own producers!

Yours sincerely
UK Agriculture

There’s been much talk recently as to what farmers must deliver in the coming years, quality sustainable food, and / or public goods? This made me question what we are delivering today on our family farm. #FarmingCan
From our farm, based on our average yields and average uk consumption per capita we are providing the highest quality, highest welfare and most sustainable produce that we can.
Enough to supply over 41,700 people for the year with one of the most nutritiously dense superfoods known to man #milk
