DEFA member Martyn Perkins praises local producers
The Covid-19 crisis has focussed people's attention on buying local and the Island becoming more self-sustainable.
That's from MHK Martyn Perkins, politicial member for the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
He was speaking at this year's Food and Drink Festival showcasing a variety of local produce.
Mr Perkins says it demonstrates all the Island has to offer:
Procedures at Noble's Hospital cancelled due to 'significant pressures'
Manx Care experiencing 'very high demand'
Medical Society calls for 'statutory elected body' as chief exec exits Manx Care
IOMMS says it's 'essential that the momentum for fundamental reform is maintained'
Cope out: How did we get here?
Manx Care's five-year history broken down
Teresa Cope: Reaction as Manx Care CEO steps down
What comes next for the Island's healthcare provider?
