Part of the debate – in the Senedd on 24 February 2021.
Motion NDM7599 as amended:
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Supports the ambition of Welsh farming to be the most climate and nature friendly in the world and joins with the farming unions in recognising one agricultural pollution incident is one too many.
2. Recognises Welsh farming offers many of the most important solutions to the climate emergency, and many Welsh farmers already exemplify the changes in farming practice needed.
3. Accepts that control of agricultural emissions is an integral part of reaching net zero emissions in Wales and across the UK.
4. Agrees the first step in tackling agricultural emissions is to implement good practice measures already undertaken by the majority of farmers.
5. Further calls on the next Welsh Government to bring forward proposals to tackle pollution in Wales.
