Government pressed to back farming output, food security and farm profitability
Peers pushed the Government to put food production and farm profitability at the centre of its farming plans, while also asking how it will support climate resilience, upland and small family farms, and tackle bovine TB. Ministers pointed to new SFI and capital grants schemes, a forthcoming response to the Batters review and a 25-year farming road map, but several calls — including for clearer food-security targets and faster publication of the long-term plan — remained unresolved.
