Rejoining the EU as a member state no longer off the agenda (opens the original)
Read excerpt
'Equally problematic is whether the EU would want the UK back. That depends on whether it can demonstrate political stability, rather than frequent changes of PM against a backdrop of economic malaise' Agriculture was barely mentioned at the Labour party conference, but one issue high on the agenda could have a big impact on farming. That was the shift towards a stronger relationship with the EU and even hints Labour could eventually bite the bullet of a return to membership. That remains a dist
EU launches pro-farmer food procurement ideas â could we follow its lead? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a low-key social media campaign asking people whether, if food can be grown on local farms, we should be importing it. This raises key questions around the environmental cost of transporting food long distances, poorer standards outside the EU, and the need to value food security and what farmers do for the nation. While the immediate response might be to back UK production, that is tied up with cost and government policy. No matter what politicians may say, the reality is that the UK i
New politcal season – but same problems persist for agriculture (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The start of September sees political life returning to normal, not least in Brussels where the August break is sacrosanct.

Like the Bank of England and other global central banking bodies, the task of the ECB is to balance the need to control inflation without killing off economic growth. This is a far from certain science, where the challenge is to minimise the ills without killing the patient. The message from cent
Farmers face changing times and a loss of political support (opens the original)
Read excerpt
'More of the same - a steady decline in support - will be the order of the day. There will be no radical shift to view food security as a strategic asset' August is traditionally a time-out month when it comes to politics. This is particularly true of the politics around agriculture in the EU. The August break for politicians, officials and lobbyists is just about sacrosanct. The focus shifts to preparing plans for what might be achieved in the autumn. This has a new edge in Europe this year, as
