Urgently set out vision for farming sector and food security in 25-year Farming Roadmap.
Recommendation
The Government should urgently set out its vision for the farming sector, achieving food security and the future of the Farming and Countryside Programme in its proposed 25-year Farming Roadmap, and in advance of making significant major changes to farming policy and support mechanisms. The 25-year Farming Roadmap should bring together Defra farming policy and programmes into a single vision outlining how they will work together to achieve measurable outcomes for food security and the environment. This vision should set out a coherent and signposted plan for change and details of the risks posed and support available. (Recommendation, Paragraph 13) Farm funding and profitability
