George Freeman tells MPs that UK agriculture is at a critical moment. With the world needing to double food production in 25 years using the same land but less water and energy, the UK—home to 10 of the top 30 research institutes—could lead this effort. However, he warns that current policies could abruptly shrink the UK market for these innovations, threatening an emerging industry poised to become a global leader.

A Norfolk MP has called for a "180-degree, tyre-screeching reset" of agricultural policy to unlock the potential of science and innovation and help farmers produce "more from less".

Norfolk farmers marched on the streets of London alongside thousands from across the country as their industry continued its battle against a "vindictive" tax hike.

By announcing a massive £40bn tax attack focused on small and family businesses, the Farm Tax attack on family farms and pensioners at risk of fuel poverty alongside massive borrowing, to fund a spending spree on public sector wages.
