Farming and the Future – A Discussion Document on Agricultural Policy
In celebration of ANM’s 150th anniversary, the Group proudly hosted a conference in July 2022, focused on the crucial themes of agriculture and climate change. This event brought together insights from prominent industry experts to explore these pressing issues. As part of the #ANMBeyond150 campaign, ANM showcased the positive initiatives underway on farms and in agricultural businesses across the country, aimed at addressing the dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss amidst an increasingly challenging economic landscape.
To effectively tackle these challenges, a new policy direction is essential. Scotland now has a unique opportunity – unprecedented in a generation – to craft an agricultural policy tailored to the distinct needs of its agricultural sector. Such a policy would empower farmers to enhance sustainability while ensuring the sector’s continued growth and resilience.
The key discussions from the ANM Beyond 150 Conference have been compiled into the “Farming and the Future – A Discussion on Agricultural Policy” document, which outlines the way forward for Scotland’s agricultural future.
