Farming leaders have welcomed the new Labour government with a mix of caution and optimism, as they look to build relationships with the new administration.
The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) has said it is ‘cautiously optimistic’ about the new government’s plans for agriculture, and is looking forward to working with the new ministers.
However, the union has also warned that the industry faces significant challenges, including the ongoing impact of Brexit and the need for more support for farmers.
‘We are pleased to see a new government in place, and we look forward to working with them to address the challenges facing the industry,’ said NFU president Minette Batters.
She added that the union would be pushing for more support for farmers, including better access to markets and more investment in rural areas.
The NFU has also called for the government to prioritize the environment and animal welfare, and to take a more proactive approach to tackling climate change.
‘We believe that farming can play a key role in addressing these challenges, and we are committed to working with the government to find solutions,’ said Batters.
The union’s comments come as the new government begins to take shape, with a number of key appointments made in recent days.
‘We are looking forward to working with the new ministers, and to building a positive relationship with the government,’ said Batters.
