The MHK for Castletown has tabled a motion in Tynwald on food production in the Isle of Man.
Richard Ronan wants to see a plan developed to increase GDP from locally grown, sourced and processed food to 7 per cent by 2025.
It's being directed at the Minister for Environment, Food and Agriculture.
The increase would represent a four-fold increase in agriculture, food and drink manufacturing - which was highlighted in the 2011 National Income Accounts.
Mr Ronan says it's important to grow this sector of the economy:
