On Wednesday, Richard was pleased to celebrate Back British Farming Day - a chance to celebrate British food and farming, recognising the vital role farmers in North East Bedfordshire play in feeding the nation.
Richard Fuller MP said:
I am incredibly proud to represent the farmers and growers here in North East Bedfordshire and show my recognition for their work by supporting Back British Farming Day. As well as providing high-quality, climate-friendly food for the nation, our farmers also maintain and care for our iconic British countryside that we all enjoy.
Farmers in North East Bedfordshire make a huge contribution to the local economy, providing jobs and, in many cases, producing renewable energy.
Events over the past few years have shown us just how important it is to have a resilient farming sector, producing quality food for both home and abroad while shaping the land around us. That’s why I believe it is so important to recognise the importance of British agriculture and all it delivers to the nation.
