📣NFU SCOTLAND RALLY OUTSIDE HOLYROOD ON NOVEMBER 28📣

We are calling on all those who want a thriving rural economy in Scotland to rally outside Holyrood on Thursday 28 November to seek guarantees that the Scottish Government’s forthcoming budget supports farming, crofting and all that they deliver.

As a result of the recent UK Budget, decisions on how Scotland supports agriculture now rest exclusively with the Scottish Government and the rally, which will see attendees start to gather at 11.30am, is being held ahead of the Scottish Government’s budget on 4 December. Details are at: https://www.nfus.org.uk/policy/parliamentary/rally-at-scottish-parliament-2024.aspx

The Union urges all farmers and crofters to attend but also asks all those businesses, upstream and downstream, who are reliant on a thriving rural economy for their livelihoods to show their support and join the rally.

At the rally, leading politicians have already indicated their willingness to address the event. NFU Scotland will have delegates from every region in Scotland and are asking members to contact their MSPs in advance to organise a meeting that day.

President Martin Kennedy said: “The huge level of uncertainty felt by farmers and crofters threatens food production, family farming and crofting businesses and the environment. In the recent budget, the UK Government effectively washed its hands of a funding ring-fenced multi-annual safety net that has been in place for over 50 years when it passed the budget in a lump sum to Scottish Government.

“On Thursday 28 November we are organising a rally to which we want all those who attend to send a clear message to the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government about the importance of delivering future, multi-annual, ring-fenced funding for Scottish agriculture. Our rally will highlight all that farmers and crofters deliver, including high-quality food production, climate and nature restoration, and thriving rural communities.

“The Scottish Government and Parliament now have a real opportunity to demonstrate that they do understand and will fully support a thriving Scottish agriculture sector.

“Let us be under no illusions this is a monumental time for Scottish agriculture, and we must rally to secure a budget on 4 December that not only delivers for Scottish farmers and crofters but for the thousands of supply chain jobs that depend on them.”

❗️NOTE❗️ It is essential that all attendees follow the Scottish Parliament’s rules and guidelines for a safe event. These are available at: https://bit.ly/3Mj5BhO
