Food standards becomes priority as 1 million sign NFU petition

The British public made it clear that they want the food they eat to continue being produced to leading standards, even in the toughest global circumstances. Find out more about the NFU's campaign to ensure food and farming remains a political priority domestically, for exports and trade deals.

For some reason I do not find this very reassuring, included in an article in the local press ...

In a letter to NFU president Minette Batters, international trade secretary and South West Norfolk MP Liz Truss says the government has agreed “in principle” to the establishment of an advisory trade and agriculture commission, which can make recommendations including “considering the policies that the government should adopt in free trade agreements to ensure UK farmers do not face unfair competition and that their high animal welfare and production standards are not undermined”.

I suppose one must regard it as a small move in the right direction, but we have seen what happens to advice and recommendations when they conflict with government wishes.

One has to ask "which government?".

Well it could apply to any I suppose, but my comment had the current lot in mind since the topic is concerned with a current issue.
