Scottish Liberal Democrats will put recovery first for our farmers. We want a system that delivers climate-friendly farming alongside the critical work of producing food and providing rural employment. We saw how important food security is at the beginning of the pandemic. Farmers worked day-in day-out to keep food on our shelves and tables when global supply chains seized up. We will work to develop a new system of agriculture support that recognises Scotland’s particular strengths and needs. We will match the scale of resources from the old EU schemes. Scottish Liberal Democrat pressure and our winning a vote at Parliament led to the Scottish Government bringing together a working group involving producers, environmental groups and other stakeholders to get this right. We will enhance sustainability in food production using their conclusions.
