The strain is different to the one found in Germany in January 2025, but the source of infection remains unknown.

On #InternationalWomensDay and on any other day, we are here to make sure that young women aspiring to become a farmer can do so.

Help us break prejudice and give women in agriculture and rural areas dignified living and working conditions.

Fighting the patriarchy is an everyday duty, but at least today we get to shout it together: we've had enough!

Enough 'jokes', enough condescension, enough questioning our competence, enough harassment, enough misoginy.

Happy International Women's (rights) Day 💜

A fantastic report from my brilliant colleague! As we seek to develop new support measures across the 4 UK nations, we can certainly look to our EU friends for inspiration on how best to support our young farmers and new entrants.
