(Translated) How is the Welsh Government supporting innovation in the farming industry in South Wales West?

(Translated)

The Welsh Government continues to support farm businesses across the whole of Wales, including South Wales West , to improve their technical, financial and environmental performance. The introduction of new technology and innovation is central to the support we offer though our Farming Connect knowledge transfer programme and capital support schemes.

(Translated) What action is the Welsh Government taking to mitigate agricultural pollution in Wales?

Pollution of any kind impacts on us all and we must tackle it for the benefit of our environment and communities. Sustainable farm businesses do not pollute the environment and we are mitigating agricultural pollution through partnership working, knowledge transfer services, good practice guidance, regulation, enforcement and financial support.

(Translated) What discussions has the Minister had with the Deputy Minister for Mental Health and Wellbeing about the impact of Welsh Government policies on farmers' mental health?

I regularly discuss the well-being and mental health of farmers with the Deputy Minister.

I met this week to discuss the Deputy Minister’s recent visit to the DPJ Foundation and the charity’s work, including on combatting the stigma sometimes associated with mental health matters and the well-being issues being raised by farmers.
