Independent review of the bureaucratic burden on family farms

This review will provide an independent, practical assessment of the bureaucratic burden on family farms in Wales. It aims to reduce unnecessary bureaucracy and complexity, while retaining our high standards.

We have launched an independent review to look at the cumulative impact of regulation, assurance and support requirements on farm businesses in Wales.

The review will:

• understand how requirements affect farmers in practice
• identify duplication or unnecessary processes
• recommend practical ways to simplify and improve how the system works

The review is led by John Davies as independent Chair and is expected to report within nine months.

We want to hear from farmers, agents, industry and others with experience of how requirements work in practice.

You can share your views or evidence with the review by emailing:

The review will engage with stakeholders across Wales and gather evidence over the coming months.

Updates, reports and the Welsh Government response will be published on this page.
