Carbon audits must not become conditional for future farm support

The Ulster Farmers’ Union (UFU) has reiterated its clear opposition to mandatory individual carbon auditing becoming a condition for future farm support payments.

UFU President John McLenaghan said, “Our members have been very clear, they do not support compulsory carbon auditing being either imposed on farm businesses or becoming a condition of support.

“Farmers are already operating under significant pressures and regulations, and there is concern around the purpose, cost and future use of information.”

Across the wider confectionery sector, some manufacturers have increased the use of palm oil and other vegetable fats in certain chocolate-style products such as Easter eggs to reduce the reliance on cocoa butter and dairy🍫

From a nutritional prospective, milk brings clear value as a whole.

Supporting dairy in chocolate is about more than tradition, its:

🔸Nutritional Integrity

🔸Environmental responsibility

🔸Protecting local agriculture

This Easter, support the dairy industry🥛
