Part of the debate – in the Senedd on 23 March 2022.
Motion NDM7963 as amended:
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Recognises the vital contribution that farmers and rural communities make to the health and prosperity of the nation;
2. Notes the negative impact on global food security stemming from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the direct effect it has on people in Wales;
3. Regrets that the most immediate threat to food security for people living in Wales today is the cost-of-living crisis created by the Conservative UK Government.
4. Calls on the Welsh Government to:
a) develop a Wales Community Food Strategy to encourage the production and supply of locally-sourced food in Wales, supporting our communities to bring about positive change in our food system;
b) create a new system of farm support acknowledging ecologically sustainable local food production, reflecting the UN principles of Sustainable Land Management.
