So, we'll move on to item 4, that's the 90-second statements, and I call on James Evans.
Diolch, Deputy Presiding Officer. This week is Wythnos Ffermio Cymru, Welsh Farming Week. This year's theme is 'securing the future of Welsh food'. This week shines a light on the incredible work of our farmers and the work they do every day. From sunrise to sunset, Welsh farmers dedicate themselves to producing the high-quality food we enjoy. They nurture crops, raise healthy livestock and manage the land, with the expertise passed down through generations. Their work goes simply beyond filling our plates. They are custodians to the Welsh countryside, protecting the land for future generations. They implement practices that produce world-class food that enriches the soil. They conserve water and promote biodiversity. This week, we celebrate their efforts. Social media is buzzing with #WelshFarmingWeek, showcasing the journey of Welsh food and the care that our farmers give to make that food end up in our tummies. On Thursday 20 June, an event will be held here in our Senedd, and this offers a chance for Members here to connect with those remarkable individuals, learn about their dedication to sustainable practices, and their commitment to securing the future of Welsh food. Let's not forget the 'Secure the Future of Welsh Food' campaign, and I encourage all Members to sign the NFU Cymru online petition and show everyone's support for our Welsh farmers, the stewards of our land and the producers of our delicious food here in Wales. So, together, let's celebrate Welsh agriculture and secure the future of Welsh food on this very special Welsh Farming Week.
Thank you, James.
