LOCAL PRODUCE AND THE FUTURE OF THE FARMING COMMUNITY

Motion Text

That this House supports the Western Mornings News campaign to promote local produce; recognises the need to encourage and support the purchase of and trade in produce in the South West and generally throughout the United Kingdom; notes the social, economic, health and environmental benefits; and recognises that by doing so the campaign is supporting the farming community, ensuring a high quality of produce to the consumer and limiting the need to transport great distances.
