Three thousand people descended on the Welsh Parliament in protest at a proposed overhaul of farming subsidies they say threaten their industry. Protesters, who had travelled from across the country to attend the event, cheered, waved Welsh flags and held placards in Welsh and English reading: “No Farmers, No Food”. They are objecting to proposals by the Welsh Labour Government to require more land to be set aside for environmental schemes. A series of protests have already taken place across Wales but the event in Cardiff Bay on Wednesday was the largest by far, attended by thousands of farmers.
