The Agriculture Bill will set food & farming standards for a generation. So it must do more on pesticides, agroecology and climate. This was my speech in the debate
I gave a speech to the Oxford Real Farming Conference last week, on why we need Green New Deal for food and farming to deliver a 10-year transition to agroecology. Here's part of what I said.
A New Deal for Nature, commissioned by me from a group of leading conservationists and nature writers, sets out a action plan for restoring and protecting our dangerously-depleted nature and wildlife
We need to urgently review the way we treat nature. And be honest about how much we depend on it, for our food, our own well-being and ultimately, our own survival.
