- Allow bridging payments for farmers, not landowners, to prepare for the reduction in subsidy.
- Financial support for UK agriculture will incentivise and reward farmers whose production systems adhere to higher welfare standards.
- Introduce an Icelandic-style system of tradable fishing quotas:
- The Icelandic commercial industry adheres to quotas by the Fisheries Ministry to allow individual boats to fish a fixed amount of species of fish per day.
- Quotas will be based on a variety of considerations, from regulations set by international agreements to the opinions of individual fishers and boat owners.
- Above all, the intent of the quotas is to support sustainable fishing.
- After recovery of the UK’s territorial offshore fishing rights the government will assist in securing investment in a revitalised UK fishing industry.
- Public bodies such as local government, schools and hospitals etc. will be encouraged to help establish local food systems by sourcing food directly from local producers.
- Up the levels of domestically grown vegetables/fruit under special conditions (hydroponics, greenhouses, polytunnels etc).
- Reward farming schemes that reduce carbon emissions and increase carbon retention.
- Discontinue EU ban on GMOs and gene-edited crops post-Brexit; however, ensure that all packaging of such products is clearly labelled.
- Ban imports of hormone treated and pathogen reduction treated products.
