Proceeding contribution from Lindsay Hoyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 November 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Supermarkets and Regional Farming.
Supermarkets and Regional Farming
I could not agree more. My hon. Friend is right. The aim must be sustainable farming and reducing food miles. If we are serious about climate change and the future of farming, we must follow that local policy and ensure that farmers have a local market. Let us stop the food miles. Let us make sure that sustainable farming is here to stay in the UK, and more importantly, let us ensure security of supply so that this country can feed itself in its hour of need.
