Commenting on the manifesto launched today by the National Farmers Union Scotland the SNP’s Richard Lochhead, the Rural Affairs and Environment Cabinet Secretary, said:
“The industry has a vital contribution to make in terms of delivering food security, energy security, maintaining our landscapes and helping to achieve a low carbon society. Our track record illustrates how the SNP Government has made agriculture and food a priority over the past four years. A re-elected SNP Government will continue our good working partnership with our rural sectors to deliver greater prosperity and support our rural economy.”
