    NFU showcasing British farming at party conferences

    The NFU is bringing the best of British farming to political party conferences this year when it hosts fringe events and takes its exhibition stand to Liverpool and Birmingham.

    Fringe events are being jointly held with the Food and Drink Federation at all party conferences, which started this week at the Liberal Democrats conference in Brighton. The events will debate ‘What should the UK’s future food policy look like?’

    After the NFU’s first exhibition stand at the Conservative party conference last year, it will be hosting an additional exhibition at the Labour party conference. Visitors to the stand will be able to sample the best of British produce and celebrate the vital role farming plays in producing safe, traceable and affordable food for Britain.

    The importance of food and farming to the country will be highlighted to those visiting the stand, as well as the role of farmers’ maintaining and enhancing the countryside.

    Delegates will have the opportunity to pledge their support to British farming and will also be able to experience harvest in a virtual reality experience in a Massey Ferguson red tractor.

    NFU president Minette Batters said: “This is a vital time for British food and farming and it is clear there is significant parliamentary backing for our sector at this crucial time, particularly as the Agriculture Bill begins its passage through Parliament.

    “Just last week we saw over 140 MPs support Back British Farming day and it was great to see the entire Shadow Cabinet show their commitment to the sector.

    “This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our vibrant industry to thousands and I am proud to take the best of British to the party conferences.”
