Supporting Upland Sheep Farmers - Amendment 1
Leave out all after ‘agri-food industry,’ and insert:
‘in all areas of Northern Ireland, particularly as the primary farm enterprise in less favoured areas; acknowledges the role that practices which improve efficiency and resilience can play in reducing the carbon footprint of ewes across all land types; further recognises the lack of support for sheep farming under the Future Agricultural Policy, with farmers facing a 17 per cent reduction in their Basic Payment Scheme; and calls on the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, having had regard to the views and recommendations of the Northern Ireland Sheep Industry Taskforce, to outline his plans to support and safeguard the future viability of sheep farming.’
