Chapter 1: Collection and Sharing of Data Section 24: Meaning of "agri-food supply chain"
Subsection (1) explains that the definitions apply to the whole Chapter.
	Subsections (2) and (3) define the "agri-food supply chain", and the persons in it. The agri-food supply chain may be colloquially known as "farm to fork" – from primary producers, through intermediary food processors to retailers such as supermarkets and ultimately individual consumers. The products in the agri-food supply chain include any plant products grown (cereals, fruit and vegetables) as well as animal products for consumption (meat, dairy, eggs) including plant and animal products taken from the wild (for example, truffles and venison).
	Subsection (4) defines which actors are considered to be "closely connected" to an agri-food supply chain. This will include those persons (individuals and companies) providing either goods or services for use in the agri-food supply chain. In relation to animal products, this will include (but is not limited to) veterinarians (and any other persons providing animal health or welfare services), abattoirs and cattle markets. This category will also include those who supply inputs to the practice of agriculture, such as feed and fertiliser merchants, machinery merchants and those who supply general equipment.
	Subsection (4)(c) sets out that information may also be collected from any person performing activities capable of affecting activities in the supply chain. This may include, for example, persons keeping animals (such as those in petting zoos, or hobby chickens) where those animals could be a risk to, or at risk from, animals in the food chain in the event of a disease incursion or outbreak. This is just one example of how a person could be "closely connected" to the agri-food supply chain.
	Subsection (5) clarifies that the list of persons connected to the agri-food supply chain is not closed.
	Subsection (6) contains definitions.
