PM announces support for farming amid industry 'crisis'

The prime minister announced a package of measures on Tuesday to help farmers - but many say more is needed to support an industry "in crisis".

Rishi Sunak used a speech at the National Farmers Union annual conference to outline government plans to boost the UK's food security.

The NFU broadly welcomed the plans but said they included no actual new money.

Farming protest groups say more needs to be done to protect UK farmers from competition posed by cheaper imports.

Mr Sunak made a bid to win farmers' trust, telling them that he believed food security "was a vital part of our national security".
