Views wanted on agriculture strategy plans

The government wants residents views on a proposed new strategy for the agricultural sector.

The plan would aim to invest more in active farmers by providing additional support with the goal of delivering a profitable industry.

Environment, Food & Agriculture Minister, Geoffrey Boot MHK, says feedback from those in the industry 'highlighted a need to bring back some certainty'.

If given the green light, the proposed strategy would run from this year until 2029, subject to Tynwald approval - the consultation is available on the government website and closes on April 9.
