Preparing for a New Era of Farm Support

In November 2020, parliament finally approved the Agriculture Bill. This set out how farmers and land owners in England will be rewarded in the future with public money for “public goods”, such as, soil health, better air and water quality.

Beginning in 2021, farmers in England will see a 7-year transition period, with the new system taking the place of the Basic Payment Scheme. At the same time, measures designed to improve productivity and produce high quality food are also included in the Act.

This business insight will take you through the Agriculture Act, to guide you on how to prepare you for these changes.
