Recommendation 11

Although agricultural policy is a devolved responsibility, we heard calls for the four governments to ensure that they discuss changes to their respective agriculture policies. The UK Government should consult via the new Interministerial Group on Environment, Food and Rural Affairs with the devolved governments on potential areas for collaboration and whether there is scope for a UK wide agriculture framework which would set overarching principles. It must be clear that any such frameworks should enable nation specific policy responses. (Paragraph 50) Future of farming in Wales
