This hustings event took place Tuesday 28th April 2026 United Auctions in Stirling. It provided a great opportunity for the 6 main political parties in Scotland to showcase their commitments to Scottish farmers and crofters prior to the Scottish Parliamentary Elections which will take place on Thursday 7 May 2026.
Scotland’s farmers and crofters manage over 75% of Scotland’s land -producing high quality food for the nation, caring for nature, supporting rural communities, and contribute billions to the economy. But the next decade will bring major changes in funding, climate, policy and workforce challenges. So, it is important for us to hear from the political parties what the priorities are for the agricultural sector.
