CLA urges Government to help farmers meet the challenges of the future The CLA has urged the Government to sit up and take notice of the recommendations published today (15 September) in the Taylor Review to help farmers and land managers meet the challenges ahead. The Association said Lord Taylor's Review gave positive recommendations about removing obstacles to scientific development, shifting the balance away from on-farm inspections to advice, and increasing funding for the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE).
CLA President William Worsley said: "This Review is a forward-thinking advance on the past 20 years of decline in agricultural research and development (R&D). The Government has an important role in helping the public understand that farmers can produce sufficient nutritious food while at same time protecting and enhancing the environment."
Mr Worsley added: "The Government must take note and implement these recommendations to enable the industry to rise to the challenge of feeding the world and helping to protect wildlife." |
