Empowering Local Agriculture

Putting Farmers First

A main aim in NI People is to prioritise local farmers and growers over multinational business abroad. We will help local farmers keep more money to invest back into their farms via cutting unjust taxation, government rates and pushing against multinational agendas which only harm our businesses’ finances.

We will set farmers free from government restrictions and push for a free market on trade; getting rid of export tariffs, getting rid of taxation from selling produce and getting rid of taxes related to selling produce to markets/shops.

Supporting Local Farmers

Promoting Sustainable Agriculture

By relieving the local farmers from the pressure of competing against multinational industries, we will do everything in our power as a party to promote sustainable, natural produce.

We are in favour of Agri Forestry which involves replanting our countryside with native tree species and introducing local native cattle to graze below the tree canopy.

Reduce the need for expensive fertilisers and slurry which increases the nitrates in our water courses preventing future algae blooms as experienced recently in Lough Neah.

We support the use of bio digesters to reduce energy requirements with compost and liquid feed as further benefits.

We need to support farmers, not penalise them. Farmers feed us, Net Zero starves us.
