Agriculture
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what long term plans his Department has to develop nature-friendly farming policies.
Answered by Daniel Zeichner
We recognise the huge importance of nature friendly farming, and we will look to maintain momentum in the coming years.
Our farming roadmap ‘Farming 2050: Growing England’s Future’ will involve government working with farmers and farming and environmental organisation representatives to set the course of farming over the next 25 years. It will provide a vision for our farming sector and set the direction for how we get there, with a focus on delivering our food security and environmental objectives and supporting farms to be resilient and profitable. Publication is planned later this year.
