Agricultural Policy

Good. It is important to note the economic importance of farming, and it is great to see that NFU Cymru is shortly to launch its own booklet focusing on the economic impacts of agriculture and the supply chain. Significantly, it is being launched by our Welsh Assembly Minister for Business, Enterprise, Technology and Science, Edwina Hart. That is significant, because this debate is not simply about the green pastures out there, somewhere beyond the urban environment; it is about the contribution of agriculture to the overall UK economy and to the economy of Wales, too.
