Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. Like all Members contributing to this debate today, I want to begin by paying tribute to our farmers and our rural communities for the vital contribution that they make to the health and prosperity of our nation.

As we note the negative impact of the horrific war in Ukraine on food security, we should also note the positive impact of the actions of food produces and rural communities in Wales in supporting people displaced by the war. Their efforts should inspire us all to live up to the values they reflect—of solidarity, of fairness, and of global responsibility. I'm sure that the thoughts of all Members in the Siambr are with those people now living in besieged areas of Ukraine and in other conflict zones around the world, who experience the most severe threat of food insecurity, with children especially threatened with starvation or the lifelong impact of malnourishment.

Where I believe the position of this Senedd should depart from the Conservative motion is in its failure to acknowledge the true crises threatening food security in Wales today. Food supply to Wales remains robust, despite the immense challenges workers and businesses have faced: the disruption of the pandemic, the chaos and uncertainty of the UK Government's position on trade with our European neighbours. These have not led to widespread shortages of supply. We should also remember that globally as much as half of all food produce is discarded as waste, as John Griffiths referred to in his contribution. It would be nonsensical to put all issues of food insecurity into a single category. The conflict conditions driving food insecurity in Ukraine are having an effect on our own food security, but we each face a different set of challenges that will each require a different set of responses.

The most immediate threat to food security in Wales today is not a collapse in production or supply, but an economic crisis undermining people's ability to access food, and it is from the deliberate decisions taken by the UK Government—[Interruption.] Yes.
