Faultlines: Struggling farmers face uncertain future post-Brexit

Anger is brewing amongst farmers across the UK, with many worried about the future of their profession. They say changes in the the agricultural sector post-Brexit could see food shortages and thousands of job losses. Discontent is focused on cheap foreign imports and changes to subsidies forcing farmers to give up land in favour of environmental schemes. The UK Government insists it backs farmers – saying it puts agriculture “at the forefront” of any trade deals and has maintained the £2.4bn annual farming budget. The Welsh Government says farming is “important to Wales and to our economy”. It is consulting on plans and says it wants farming to have a “successful future”. Sky's West of England and Wales correspondent Dan Whitehead joins farmers on the brink of leaving the sector and those arranging a growing protest movement. #ukfarming #skynews #costofliving SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ Sky News videos are now available in Spanish here/Los video de Sky News están disponibles en español aquí: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzG5BnqHO8oNlrPDW9CYJog To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
