Reasons for AHDB to withdraw funding from Red Tractor

In my personal opinion, AHDB should withdraw funding and support for the Assured Food Standards Red Tractor scheme.

I think we should write a letter to AHDB, setting out why we think this should be the case. Individuals can then put their signature to the letter. I'm thinking a letter, rather than just a petition, but also invite opinions on what you consider to be the most appropriate option.

We therefore need ideas and thoughts, in order to help construct the best reasoning.

Please also say if you would not wish to withdraw Red Tractor funding by AHDB, and why. Discussion forges progression.

I'll start...

Many AHDB levy payers are not RT members, and therefore through their AHDB levy they are contributing to a scheme they had expressly decided not to join. This is particularly true of the sheep sector.
