COP15 will likely set a goal for very significant reductions in global pesticide use by 2030 so the UK needs to invest to help our farmers & growers achieve this. Fail to prepare you prepare to fail and all that.. https://t.co/htmI0Wk7uO

Oh dear...this does not look good and it's not going to end well. Our farmers can grow great food & we can protect nature at the same time but it requires vision, wisdom and dare i say leadership https://t.co/NavU44t3nz

UK horticulture is being allowed to die, we are increasingly dependent on imports from Spain and N Africa which will collapse in a few years because of climate change, and then where will we be? Why are we gambling with UK food security? https://t.co/B1OcgpiYLI
