On Monday in Parliament, I hosted Fram Farmers NextGen group, who provide a social and support network for 18-35 year olds in the agricultural industry. It was a great opportunity to listen and learn from passionate young professionals, both from my constituency and the wider Eastern region.

Thank you to the Shadow DEFRA Secretary, Victoria Atkins, and former NFU President, Baroness Batters, for also joining the NextGen group to discuss crucial issues at what is a very difficult time for all who work in the British agricultural industry.
