Webinar follow up: the offer for arable and horticulture growers

Posted by: , Posted on: - Categories: Farming and Countryside Programme, Payments for equipment, technology and infrastructure, Sustainable Farming Incentive, Webinars

On Thursday 29 February, we held a webinar for arable and field horticulture growers in England. In this post, I’ll share the recording and summarise the themes that emerged in the questions and I’ll set out the best ways for you to get answers.

Supporting the tenanted sector in England

Posted by: , Posted on: - Categories: Farming and Countryside Programme

Tenant farmers are at the heart of the rural economy, managing a third of all farmland in England. To meet our food security and environmental objectives, we must make sure that all farmers, including tenant farmers, can access our schemes and build thriving farm businesses. In this post, we’ll explain how we are continuing to design our schemes with tenant farmers in mind. We’ll provide an update on how we are embedding an understanding of the tenanted sector across Defra. We’ll also summarise the progress we’ve made so far.
