star this property answer text <p>Defra officials continually study statistics about the veterinary profession. The sources are publicly available through the website of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).</p><p> </p><p>The number of vets who may be required after the UK leaves the EU varies according to the range of scenarios.</p><p> </p><p>We anticipate some extra demand would be created in the unlikely event that the UK does not reach a deal with the EU relating to the certification of animals and animal products for export to the EU. RCVS has announced its agreement to a proposal from Defra for the creation of a new type of a supporting officer role in aid of the export certification work. This would potentially reduce the additional demands on vets.</p><p> </p><p>Defra continues to work with other Government Departments and veterinary stakeholders on further initiatives to ensure sufficient veterinary capacity.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The UK is determined to make good on commitments to support companies to implement zero-deforestation supply chains, including in respect of palm oil. Through the Amsterdam Declarations and the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020, we are working with businesses and other governments to strengthen governance, promote market-based solutions and put in place incentives, policies and actions that support sustainable production of palm oil alongside forest protection. While we are not proposing to bring forward a ban, we recognise that more remains to be done and will continue to explore opportunities to improve the sustainability of palm oil production.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>It is a priority of this Government to enable an innovative, productive and competitive food supply chain, which invests in its people and skills.</p><p>Defra Ministers have ongoing discussions with a wide range of stakeholders about securing the workforce that the food and farming industry needs for the future.</p><p>The new Food and Drink Sector Council provides a valuable focus on skills and talent in the food chain through a new partnership between industry and government. The Council was announced in the Government’s Industrial Strategy and is a formal industry partnership with government which aims to improve the productivity and sustainability of the entire food chain.</p><p>The Council has established Workforce and Agricultural Productivity Working Groups: these are industry-led and will have a key role to play in identifying and addressing skills gaps, as well as promoting the food chain as a great place to work.</p><p>The Secretary of State attended a Sector Council meeting on 17 October 2018 where he acknowledged the Council’s concerns arising from the UK’s departure from the EU, which included a reliance on a European workforce. In concluding discussions at the meeting it was agreed that the Council had an important role to play in alerting Government to key issues and helping shape potential solutions.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Soybean meal (SBM) is commonly used in animal feed, including for pigs, to produce high protein feed with favourable attributes, including suitable amino acid profile. In considering alternatives, it is important to have regard to the feed quality profile, as well as cost and availability. We want to ensure our farming industry is competitive, productive and profitable and that our environment is improved for future generations.</p><p> </p><p>Defra has co-funded research with industry to examine UK grown alternatives to SBM in livestock diets. The Green Pig project investigated sustainable alternatives for SBM and looked at environmental consequences of using home-grown legumes as a protein source in pig diets. The project concluded that whilst peas and beans are viable home-grown alternatives to SBM in nutritionally balanced grower and finisher pig diets, costs and other supply chain issues present barriers for wider use.</p><p> </p><p>Defra is continuing to invest in research to improve the productivity, sustainability, resilience and quality of UK grown peas and beans for livestock and human consumption. The Pulse Crop Genetic Improvement Network (PCGIN) provides a platform for the genetic improvement of legume crops in the UK.</p>
