The instability in the Middle East has sent ripples far beyond the price of a gallon of petrol; it has reached the very dinner tables of our nation. With global energy markets in turmoil, the cost of the inputs that sustain our farmers—fertiliser, fuel, and pesticides—is skyrocketing. The National Farmers’ Union is rightly warning of the 'catastrophic' pressure on our food supply chain. This is the inevitable result of a world that has traded national self-sufficiency for the cheap illusions of global trade. We have allowed our food security to be tied to the stability of regions that have known little but conflict. The move toward an EU 'agri-food trade reset' and the passage of the 2026 Farm Bill in the US must be centered on one goal: ensuring that the British and American farmer can feed their own people without being at the mercy of a foreign drone strike. True sovereignty begins at the soil, and a nation that cannot feed itself is never truly free.
