I have visited several local farms and farmers, and I am always impressed by their incredible work ethic and commitment to the environment.
I firmly believe we should never take food security for granted, and I welcome the announcement today to support British farmers and rural communities.
There will be significant investment to support sustainable and resilient farming, with new rules to make sure farmers always get fair prices for their products and cuts to planning red tape to help farmers grow their business.
I have previously met with NFU president Minette Batters, who made her final presidential address to the NFU conference today and I am delighted to hear that she said she welcomes our plan, particularly if it helps to guarantee food supply chains.
