By Scottish Greens rural spokesperson, Mark Ruskell MSP THE UPCOMING Holyrood elections are taking place in unprecedented times, with the devastating impacts of Covid and Brexit underpinning the Parliament’s work for many years to come. It’s vital that we act quickly to ensure Scotland’s farming sector not only survives but uses this opportunity to build back better, greener, and stronger. The threat of future UK trade deals with the rest of the world remain real, undercutting standards and flooding the UK with cheap food imports. Green MSPs will fight to maintain food safety, animal welfare, and environmental standards, ensuring Scottish food does not become a bargaining chip in the same way our fishing sector has.
