NFU Scotland President Martin Kennedy said:

“We’re delighted to have such a great mix of speakers already confirmed for our annual Autumn Conference which is always an excellent platform for lively discussion and debate.  Securing the appropriate policy and regulation is key to the success of a sustainable and profitable future for Scottish agriculture that delivers for Scotland’s farmers and crofters and plays an integral part in delivering the nation’s ambitions on climate change, biodiversity and rural communities.  It is also important we look and learn from our neighbours both within the UK, in Europe and further afield.  The line-up for our Autumn Conference provides an exciting opportunity for our members to hear and question how Scotland is progressing and what other countries are experiencing, thinking and applying.  I look forward to welcoming everyone who is able to attend the conference in Dunfermline later this month.”
