@NFUtweets rightly headlining mental health concerns re the impact of misinformation re upcoming bTB broadcast. Follows on from a misleading ‘Megafarm’ article with wrong stats, interviewees wrongly stating UK farmers use growth hormones. Good to push for facts and balance
Everyone needs to make a living in a supply chain to make it sustainable. Insecure finances are a key driver chronic stress ill health on farm. Wider societal health needs healthy unprocessed food accessible to all consumer incomes. Food is too valuable to get wrong like this
Bovine TB has been allowed to decimate farming families mentally and financially in NI. I’m no expert on the evidence for the many steps needed to eradicate it (I’ll leave that to the vets) but I am glad to see human health put first in this @DefraGovUK statement
Do you not eat @MarkAvery ? In the eyes of the public the second most respected occupation in the UK is being a farmer…the first is being a nurse. Perhaps 2024 you could start to share the love….😘
