The defeat of the agriculture bill is a blow to the many who believe Britain could lead the world in sustainable farming, says Sue Pritchard, chief executive of the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission

In a world of polarised debates, there is a broad, non-partisan consensus on the issue of trade and standards. So it was disappointing – even if predictable – that the government whipped against amendments to protect UK food standards in the agriculture bill, which returned to the House of Commons this week. The key amendment was defeated last night by 332 votes to 279.
