As I see it: UK farmers cream of the crop

I take the concerns of my constituents incredibly seriously, whether I’m in Sherwood visiting local businesses or in Westminster voting on legislation, and a topic that has kept cropping up (pardon the pun) in my inbox for the past few months is food security, writes Mark Spencer.

In Sherwood, we are home to many incredible local farms who work day-in-day-out to yield home-grown British produce that feeds families across not only in our constituency, but across the country.

However, the coronavirus pandemic and the current unrest in Europe due to Vladimir Putin’s cruel invasion of Ukraine has seen global food prices, fertiliser prices and production costs soar and have, undoubtedly, been a cause for concern across households nationwide.
