![Sir Peter with a sign saying 'Back British Farming'](/sites/www.sirpeterbottomley.com/files/styles/gallery_large/public/news-gallery/376792521_717321740208999_6223868026603952616_n.jpg?itok=P1dxRnZU)
I’m proud to wear my wheatsheaf pin badge on #BackBritishFarmingDay to show my support for the farmers and growers in and around Worthing and Arun who do a tremendous job in providing the nation with high-quality and climate-friendly food, all while caring for our much-loved countryside.
The work our farmers do is a valuable contributor to our local and national economies, with food and farming worth more than £127 billion to the national bank and employing more than 4 million people nationwide.
I fully support the Back British Farming campaign and will continue to seek a future where British food and farming can thrive.
