What the petition asks
The Agriculture Bill must not be made law without legislation to ensure Agri-food imports are produced to at least the equivalent of those required by Farmers & Food Producers across the UK. They must not be put at a disadvantage, by allowing substandard imports.
This important bill will be the foundation of the UK’s Food & Farming policy. Food standards must be protected in any and all Trade Deals. We need a Cast Iron promise from the Government that all of these future imports are produced to at least the equivalent environmental, animal welfare & food safety standards as those required across the United Kingdom. To do otherwise will put the sector at a huge disadvantage. We're building ourselves a better future.Why should we accept anything less?
