I was pleased to see the announcement of 6 new Sustainable Farming Incentive standards yesterday, as well as more information on all of our future farming schemes. This is an important step in our agricultural transition - which will put UK food security on a new sustainable footing.
This follows an announcement earlier in the month that revenue payment rates and capital payment rates have been uprated in Countryside Stewardship. I hope this will encourage more farmers to take another look at the schemes available to them.
You can read more on the announcement here.
