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:
Overnight sailings cancelled due to adverse weather
7:45pm Manxman crossing and its return have been called off
Rapist who 'terrorised' his victim told his sentence was 'entirely justified'
Fayle jailed for 18 years and 9 months
Complaints process for health system changed
Patients told to direct concerns to service used
Discovery of oiled birds 'makes a mockery of our biosphere status'
Manx Wild Bird Aid say it's a recurring problem in Peel
Charges now in place for those sending parcels to the EU
Changes have been introduced by EU rather than the IOMPO
