Members of the National Farmers' Union (NFU) Scotland take part in a rally outside Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh to call on the Scottish Budget to deliver increased and ringfenced funding for farmers and crofters, November 28, 2024
'These figures should be a wake-up call'
DOZENS of green campaigners are calling on the government to support farmers and address the “broken” state of England’s agriculture sector.
The Wildlife Trusts and WWF are among numerous groups who have signed a letter to Environment Secretary Steve Reed, raising the alarm about what they describe as unfair supply chains and funding for nature-friendly farming.
Thousands of farmers are expected to descend on Parliament on Wednesday for further protests as anger continues over the government’s proposed changes to inheritance tax rules on agricultural property and land.
