Reacting to the government鈥檚 Spring Statement, NFU President Tom Bradshaw said: 鈥淚 agree with the Chancellor, our world is changing, and we are facing an increasingly insecure global stage. Safeguarding our food security is an essential part of the nation鈥檚 ability to remain resilient to international shocks.
鈥淭he government鈥檚 own manifesto said food security is national security. But the policies announced since the election have only delivered blow after blow to farmers and growers鈥� confidence which is now at an all-time low, with investment plummeting.
鈥淲e want to work with the government to deliver the foundations for food security, economic growth and environmental delivery and we have the blueprints to support this. We will continue to make the case for investment ahead of the comprehensive spending review.鈥�
