Thank you to Peter Fox for bringing this draft Bill forward for us to consider as a Senedd. I am happy to support the Bill, and I am prepared to support the opportunity for it to mature as the process goes ahead because I do believe that this Bill could help to provide a food system that is genuinely appropriate for future generations. And a great many of the objectives of the Bill happen to correspond with Plaid Cymru policy on food, as was outlined in our manifesto a few months ago. And of course we have just emerged from the COP discussions, and food has had greater focus than anything else, and we've seen the negative effect on climate change in terms of food production. 

I'm just going to pick out a few points from what I had intended to say because so much has already been said and I don't want to rehearse those points. But, one of the things that does need to be emphasised is that our current food system is having a significant impact on the environment, on public health, the economy, agriculture and even ensuring healthy food for our schoolchildren, and this could have a major impact on our prosperity as a nation for the future.

In terms of establishing a food commission, I'm in favour of this, Plaid Cymru is in favour of this, because it ensures an opportunity to bring a holistic food strategy together, drawing all those disparate threads together in a credible and purposeful way, and it's also an opportunity to bring together not just the Government's work, but the research that's being undertaken by practitioners in our universities, by bringing food producers and providers together, and all of the departments across the public sector in Wales. So, I do see the benefits of co-ordinating all of this in one body, the food commission, and that that would be beneficial to us.
