Having grown up in a farming family, worked in the past for the NFU, been the UK’s first ever Minister for Life Sciences and played a key role in the UK’s first ever Agri-Tech Industrial Strategy, I completely understand how vitally important Food Hygiene and Farming Welfare Standards are to this country.
Having grown up on my stepdad’s farm and previously worked as Parliamentary Officer for the NFU, I have always had a strong connection with our agricultural industries and the environment. Farming and all of its associated sectors play a key role in not only our Norfolk (and wider Eastern) economy, but also in the preservation and enhancement of our beautiful rural landscapes and way of life.
That’s why I have always strived to speak up for the sector, promote British standards and encourage a greener, cleaner, healthier society and model of life.

Having grown up around a farming community, and having worked supporting the industry with the National Farmers’ Union, I am passionate about backing 21st Century farming and the major contribution it makes to our rural economy and landscape, growth, jobs and opportunities in our area.
