It’s a landmark week for farming in Wales. Members of the Senedd, the Welsh parliament, have voted through the first ever ‘made in Wales’ Agriculture Bill. It’s the first of the devolved nations to vote through its own home-grown agriculture bill since the UK withdrew from the European Union and the CAP, or Common Agricultural Policy. The bill sets out the framework for future food and farming policy in Wales, including how farmers will be supported for the work they do as the old EU system of subsidies, based on the amount of land farmed, is phased out.
All this week on Farming Today we’re talking bacon, specifically the bacon butty and how the bacon in our butties gets from the pig to plate. We visit a meat processing plant in the South West to see how pigs are slaughtered
The Silver Lapwing Award is one of the most prestigious and long standing accolades for farmers who are committed to making space for nature while running a working farm business. We meet last year's winner and the Welsh beef farmer who's been given the award this year.
