Vice President Martin Kennedy states that the Scottish farming industry’s focus remains firmly on keeping food and drink on the nation’s table. But, in the background, it continues to recognise its responsibility to respond to climate change.
“Despite this uncertainty, Scottish farmers remain committed to producing high quality food in a way that reduces our carbon footprint and protects the environment,” writes Martin.
The Union’s ground-breaking work in partnership with the Scottish Environment, Food and Agriculture Research Institutes (SEFARI) will bring clarity on the impact Scottish agriculture has on the climate when it is published over the coming weeks, summarising current knowledge and showing an accurate picture of agriculture, highlighting where there is certainty and areas where we need more research.
“Scotland is already recognised as being well ahead of the curve when it comes to climate change, and so long as we continue to drive positive measures to improve our position, market opportunities for our products can only increase,” concludes Martin.
