IGD Conference

I am pleased that Peter Kendall gave a bold presentation at the IGD convention.  I agree with him that there should be an supermarket ombudsman. 

I don't agree with his suggestion that the supermarkets should be promoting GM, however. 

I also thought that Peter was a bit feisty on Farming Today on Monday when he was talking about the organic movement.

He is a strong leader with a clear view and I'm all for the NFU's pro-science position.  I do worry that such comments will sound rather extreme to the average consumer and believe that, in public arenas at least, the union could display a little bit more sensitivity.
