Jane Dodds Responds to First Ministers’ Comments on Agriculture
Responding to comments by First Minister Mark Drakeford on Welsh agriculture this morning, Welsh Liberal Democrat Leader and Mid & West Wales Senedd Member Jane Dodds said:
“The First Minister’s comments today are disrespectful to the farming community and show a lack of understanding from Welsh Labour of both rural communities and the work farmers do to put food on our plates.
“Food security is vital to Wales, especially given the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and rising food poverty in Wales.
“Farming is also vital to the Welsh economy, supporting a whole chain of other businesses in the rural economy in particular.”
