The Independent Commission's Farm Assurance Review survey has now closed.
We have received the following information from the Independent Commission. This is separate from the individual surveys carried out on NFUonline and in the regional farm assurance meetings earlier this year, the results of which will be used to feed into the NFU’s response to the farm assurance review.
Please note the deadline for responses has been extended to 7 September 2024.
The deadline for supply chain/industry responses is 15 September. The NFU will be submitting an overall response to the consultation.
How farm assurance can deliver value back to scheme members.
How standards are developed to meet the evolving needs of members, the markets they serve, sector diversity and in appreciation of the global marketplace.
How assurance members are engaged with (including the development of standards) and inspected and how technology is used in assurance now and in future.
How assurance schemes can and should fit with regulation and government schemes to best serve members.
The Commissioners leading this review would like you to participate in a survey that will help provide evidence for the review, and will assist in the development of its recommendations.
We are seeking views, in a variety of ways, across the UK agri-food industry, but this is your chance to tell us your experiences of farm assurance so that we hear directly from the farming community.
The survey will take 10–15 minutes to complete. We realise that you have many other calls on your time, but this is the first occasion, in many years, that a comprehensive evaluation of UK farm assurance has been undertaken, so we want as many people as possible to share their views with us.
We look forward to receiving your submission and thank you for your contribution to this important review.
Dr David Llewellyn Lead Commissioner
