Flashback to 2016: Deputy Minister for Farming and Food Rebecca Evans being served breakfast by FUW President Glyn Roberts.[/caption]
Often the best conversations are had whilst sitting around the table and enjoying good food. Putting aside just a small amount of time each day to enjoy breakfast together allows us to talk, reflect on recent events, and gives us some time away from the usual everyday distractions before the day starts.
Eating together brings people together and because the Farmers’ Union of Wales wants to continue to build closer working relationships with Welsh Government to ensure that the voice of Welsh farmers is heard, it is hosting the annual Farmhouse Breakfast in Cardiff for Assembly Members, decision makers and key stakeholders.
The breakfast is being held on Tuesday, January 24 at the Pierhead building, Cardiff Bay and will see the Union getting politicians round the breakfast table for talks about the future of agriculture and family farms in Wales in a post-Brexit world.
Alan Davies, the FUW’s Managing Director, is looking forward to the event:
“I am really excited about this breakfast in Cardiff Bay. The FUW has a long history of staging this event and it is such a great opportunity to bring everyone together over good food and have some constructive talks about how we can safeguard the future of agriculture here in Wales.
“This breakfast campaign also provides an opportunity to promote the quality premium local produce that farmers grow for us every day of the year and throughout Farmhouse Breakfast Week the FUW will shine a spotlight on the importance of our rural economy, which is sustained without a doubt by our farmers and the businesses that rely on them.
“The food and drink sector is important and farmers are at the head of that food production chain. We have some of the best animal health and welfare standards here in the UK and the food we produce is absolute top quality. So let’s celebrate the industry and appreciate the amazing job our farmers do for us every day of the year, which guarantees that we have fresh, locally produced food on your tables.”
