@Minette_Batters When #AgricultureBill returns to House of Lords, there's a new opportunity to put forward an amendment that will give the Commission more teeth & enable MPs to have their say, with a final vote to see those safeguards put in place.”...
They do not represent me. #DemocracyFail #AgricultureBill #UK
Next week the #AgricultureBill returns to the House of Commons for its final stage before becoming law.
@VictoriaPrentis will you vote to enshrine our vital food, environment, and animal welfare trade standards into law?

The Agriculture Bill: 8 key provisions and recommendations

On the day the #AgricultureBill returned it was fitting spending it with the inspirational @hilltopfarmgirl who's been leading the way for a long time when it comes to #farming better for #biodiversity, #soil, #carbon, #water and the #climate. The rest just need to follow.

Michael Gove giving evidence on the #AgricultureBill to the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs Committee is the perfect way to spend a Halloween morning. His oleaginous delivery of his bill - described by the chair as suspiciously lacking mention of agriculture - is creepy.
farming minister George Eustice now speaking to the #agriculturebill committee amendments. Making some very good points about the extreme price of the push for high levels of food self-sufficiency in the 70s and 80s.
Colin Clark MP now talking to his amendment to the #agriculturebill. He did at least tell the committee that he receives farm subsidies, though not how much.
Labour shadow farming minister David Drew currently explaining to the #agriculturebill committee that his amendment 52 is a "probing" amendment.
NFU claims "green energy" is a public good. But do they mean producing biogas from growing environmentally destructive Maize? https://uk.lush.com/article/biogas-maize-disaster #agriculturebill
please read this thread on moves to derail the #agriculturebill.
Two Tory backwoodsmen have tabled an amendment to the #agriculturebill, which could derail @michaelgove plans to pay farmers to provide clean water, carbon storage, wildlife, access etc. Between them they & their businesses got over £1/2 a million in farm subsidies last year.
in today's Lush Times column, I look at some of the more bizarre claims in last week's #AgricultureBill debate, and the surprisingly dark origins of the post-war drive for Britain to be self-sufficient in food. uk.lush.com/article/backwoodsmen-out...

Anyone know why the SNP didn't vote on yesterday's #AgricultureBill amendment?
2/ This is the NFU lobbying for the #agriculturebill to focus on shoring up farmers incomes & encouraging intensification, rather than delivering sustainable farming which produces healthy, nutritious food in ways which allow nature to thrive on farmland.
1/ Let's put this "you can't go green if you're in the red" trope in its place. #AgricultureBill
.@suehayman wants to increase the production of food we can produce here (indigenous foods). We only produce 25% of the fruit and veg we consume, so we should certainly increase production of indigenous fruit & veg. #AgricultureBill
In #Agriculturebill debate, @suehayman banging the food security drum again. Still not clear what Labour mean when they use that phrase. The UK is one of most food secure countries in the world.
@SueHayman1 now making v strong point about the lack of any commitment in the #agriculturebill to have v strong climate action target. @CarolineLucas intervenes to push for net zero climate target for farming, esp using Organic farming.
Sue Hayman now speaking in #agriculturebill debate. "we need an agriculture bill but we need it to be better than this." already mentioned food poverty and healthy, home-grown food. Supportive of public money for public goods.
Helen Whately asks what the #agriculturebill will do to increase fruit & veg production, which is desperately needed. Gove dodges the question though.
Nick Boles wants Gove to get on with it and not take 7 years to reform farm support. #AgricultureBill
