The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to increase support for farmers who make environmental contributions in the Land Use Framework.

Answered by Mary Creagh

The Government has recently launched a 12-week consultation on land use in England, which will inform the publication of a Land Use Framework later in the year. The consultation includes questions about how the government can more effectively align incentives to support farmers in providing the food and environment outcomes that the nation needs.
