The Jersey Farming Conference – Farming Matters
There is no denying that it’s still an extremely challenging time for farmers. Farming is not an easy task, as the consequences of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, climate change bringing droughts and flooding, and new obligations are all having a growing impact on farmers’ work and incomes.
Increases in the minimum wage means that rising labour costs are adding a further significant burden with many farmers having to think hard about their future in the industry. Government must work together with the men and women in farming to tackle these challenges.
Food security, in harmony with nature, remains an essential task – producing healthy food is the foundation of agricultural policy. Many farmers are already working towards a more sustainable form of agriculture. That is the only way to secure the supply of food for the future.
This year’s conference, more than ever, is the time to bring together the farming industry and government to find out how they see that future looking and to discuss how much farming really matters to the island.
