The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to support new farming entrants in England.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

Our young farmers are vital to the future of UK farming, and we work closely with the National Federation of Young Farmers to consider how best to support them.

To secure that future for young farmers, we are investing £2.7 billion annually and developing a 25-year roadmap to boost profitability.
