Guidance updated to show change in rules from 1 January 2022 for imports from the Republic of Ireland to Great Britain A risk-based approach applies to controls on fruit and vegetables from Great Britain at points of entry in Northern Ireland. In line with the very low risk posed by GB goods, SMS and GMS goods can be released into free circulation (declared and customs duties paid) in Northern Ireland without needing a GB-issued certificate of conformity. This may change on the basis of risk. Information added on who should use the IPAFFs IT import system and who should use PEACH IT import system from 1 January added to section ‘Register and pre-notify your goods on the relevant import IT system’. Year-round access to a full range of FFV in all seasons has increased over the last 20 to 30 years, leading to longer and more complex supply chains, alongside a drop in domestic supply ratio of fresh vegetables from 76% to 54% since 1990 (see Indicator 2.1.8).

Agritourism is tourism that involves any agriculturally based operation or activity that brings visitors to a farm or ranch. It of course comes from the term ‘agriculture’. This is the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other products. Seasonal drought can lead to significant reductions in crop yield and there is currently a 3% chance per year that at least 80% of the UK wheat area could experience drought. Wheat varieties that are tolerant to a range of weather conditions, such as flooding and drought, may need to be considered in the future.As mentioned earlier, farm stays are really popular in the UK. Being a country so full of towns and cities, people find it novel to stay somewhere more rural. With travel restrictions in place during the COVID pandemic, staycations (many of which were in rural areas) in popularity across the UK. From shepherd’s huts to glamping to cosy cottages, there are plenty of agritourism options across the UK. Agritourism in Australia

Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) has adopted a phased approach to plant health controls for plants and plant products imported from the European Union ( EU). This phased approach started in January 2021. You can apply for a phytosanitary certificate and a certificate of conformity at the same time using this service. If both of these conditions apply to your consignment of GMS products, you may need to submit a PEACH application requesting a certificate of conformity for GMS goods. You should follow the import procedures for GMS goods. Agritourism is a fantastic way for farmers to diversify their income and to make some extra cash. With increasing issues such as droughts or increased competition, farmers are often susceptible to financial loss should they have a bad season. However, agritourism can be a great way to compensate for this! The disadvantages of agritourism Agriculture is impacted by the environment and climate change, but it also affects them in turn. The UK has environmental standards and targets relating to water quality, meeting Net Zero, and biodiversity, all of which continue to be areas where agriculture has a negative impact on the environment. Context and RationaleUpdated section titled 'Artificially propagated specimens' - now titled 'Importing endangered and artificially propagated plants'. This section clarifies that CITES permits are needed for all endangered species and artificially propagated specimens listed on Species+. Plant’ means a living plant or a living part of a plant at any stage of growth. This includes trees and shrubs. Most fruit and vegetables need a phytosanitary certificate before they’re exported from the UK to a non-EU country. You can save time by applying for a phytosanitary certificate and a certificate of conformity at the same time. If you want to apply for both certificates at the same time, apply for the phytosanitary application first.
