Motion text
That this House celebrates Nature-Friendly Farming Week; acknowledges the important role farmers across the UK play in growing food, restoring habitats, protecting wildlife, and strengthening rural communities; congratulates the nature-friendly farming network on their work to expand and support nature-friendly farming in the UK; notes with concern that the abrupt closure of the Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme has meant that for the first time in 30 years there is no Government support for farmers wishing to move into organic farming; further notes with concern the impact that the family farm tax will have on nature-friendly farming as family businesses are broken up and sold; and calls on the Government to urgently reverse the family farm tax and invest an additional £1bn a year in the farming budget to protect the sustainable production of food.
