The Scottish Crofting Federation (SCF) has welcomed the Agriculture and Rural Communities Bill, which draft legislation seeks to provide a new framework for the delivery of agricultural and rural support across Scotland.
“It has been a year since Scottish Government consulted on its proposals for a post-Brexit agricultural support system and we are glad to see that the Bill has now been introduced to Scottish Parliament”, said Donna Smith, Chief Executive of the Scottish Crofting Federation. “The Bill explicitly aims to enable rural communities to thrive and to support the adoption and use of sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices. We know that crofting can and will deliver for these objectives if adequate and accessible support for crofters is put in place.” Read in full here.
