Sustainable Farming Scheme

In July 2022 we published the Outline Sustainable Farming Scheme.

We used the Outline Sustainable Farming Scheme proposals as the basis for an extensive codesign programme with farmers.

We will be publishing a codesign report on this page once the analysis is complete.
