This was a constructive meeting and we learnt responses from the White Paper consultation will be summarised by September and the Agri Bill for Wales will not be passed until next Easter.The Climate Change Minister was enthusiastic and detailed how she wants to work with, not against, farmers regarding tree planting, and how Welsh Government was looking at possible safeguards to protect land from being bought by large commercial companies. The use of wool in insulation was mentioned and how valuable wool could be in the future. But the value needs to come back to the farmer to make this a more viable option.We have extended an invite to both Ministers to join NSA and the Black Mountains Land Use Partnership to see how collaboration works, and to visit a sheep farm to discuss carbon footprinting.
