Local Assembly Member Paul Davies has once again recently hosted the annual FUW farmhouse breakfast at the Senedd, in support of the FUW’s Farmhouse Breakfast Week campaign (January 22 – January 27), which aims to raise the profile of Welsh produce and get politicians, key stakeholders and the general public to appreciate the important role the food and drink sector plays in their everyday lives.

Mr Davies said: “I was delighted to once again sponsor the annual FUW’s farmhouse breakfast reception, to promote Welsh produce and to discuss some of the challenges facing the agricultural industry, particularly following Britain’s decision to leave the European Union. The Farmhouse Breakfast Week campaign is a firm date in the Assembly’s calendar and I’m delighted to once again reiterate my support and promote the benefits of a healthy breakfast.”

He added, “Welsh farming is facing a number of challenges and opportunities at the moment – and it will continue to do so over the coming months and years. Therefore, much more cooperation is needed between Governments to protect the viability of the industry for the future. The reception was also a good opportunity to discuss Wales’ domestic market and discuss issues such as Bovine TB, support for young farmers and how farmers play an important role in maintaining our rural communities.”
