P-04-595 Foresight Pathway
We
the undersigned , call upon The National Assembly for Wales to urge the Welsh
Government to safeguard the vital future health and wellbeing of the people of
Wales by making food security the direct responsibility of an independent
person to ensure future overview of food production. He or she must be
answerable to the First Minister. The security of food production is of the
first order in importance to the people of Wales. Energy already is the First
Minister’s remit.
Additional Information:
Whilst
acknowledging the significance of safeguarding our natural environment, we
earnestly believe that food production must be funded by adequate inflation
proof measures, to all sectors of Welsh agriculture and included within the
First Ministers remit. This would serve to address the serious malaise and lack
of confidence in the future of the industry which has afflicted Welsh farming
in recent years. We are convinced that making the reliability and sufficiency
of food supply a central objective of Welsh Government policy will ensure
national survival in the turbulent years ahead.
