CLA ‘encouraged’ by Tory farming manifesto The CLA today (23 February 2010) welcomed the launch of the Conservative Party agenda for British farming.
The rural economy experts said the manifesto made clear that the Conservatives have taken on board the challenges land managers face as providers of food and guardians of the environment. CLA President William Worsley said: "This manifesto recognises what the CLA has been saying all along, that British farmers must be able to compete on a level playing field internationally, whilst being supported in providing the quality of environment which society demands. "We are also pleased the Conservatives have committed to cutting the overall burden of regulation placed on British farmers to make them as competitive as possible." He added: "We are encouraged by the strong commitment to renewable energy production which could become an important source of income for farmers. We particularly welcome the pledge to prioritise research and development which will be crucial for the future of sustainable farming." |
