Local Assembly Member Paul Davies recently attended an event hosted by NFU Cymru to celebrate Welsh food and drink. The event also saw the launch of the Union’s We Are Welsh Farming campaign, which aims to promote ways in which farming benefits people and communities in Wales.
He said, “Farming is very much the backbone of the Welsh economy and helps to create dynamic and vibrant communities across Wales. Many Welsh farmers have diversified in recent years to become more environmentally friendly or to offer other services and facilities on their land and I’m thankful to them for their ongoing commitment to the countryside and for playing such a vital role in our local economy. Therefore, it’s crucial that we celebrate our fantastic produce and commit to supporting local produce wherever we can. We’re particularly lucky to have so much on offer to us here in Pembrokeshire and I’d encourage everyone locally to do all they can to support their local farmers.”
