正文(英文) | New details of flagship Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme unveiled in Environment Secretary's vision for future farming. ![]() Environment Secretary George Eustice has today (Tuesday 25 February) called on farmers and land managers to share their views on the government’s flagship green farming scheme outside the EU. Speaking ahead of the National Farmers’ Union’s (NFU) annual conference tomorrow (Wednesday 26 February), the Environment Secretary has announced that farmers will be at the forefront of reversing environmental declines and tackling climate change as they reshape the future of farming in the 21st century. The government will today publish new details on its future Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELM), which will see farmers paid for work that enhances the environment, such as tree or hedge planting, river management to mitigate flooding, or creating or restoring habitats for wildlife. Moving away from a system that pays farmers for the total amount of land farmed, the scheme will instead pay for ‘public goods’ that benefit society, such as clean air and water. In his speech at the NFU Conference tomorrow, Environment Secretary George Eustice is expected to say:
The new proposals unveiled today will include three ‘tiers’ of entry to the scheme, enabling anyone from any farm or land type to participate at the right level. Tier one would encourage farmers to adopt environmentally sustainable farming and forestry practices, while farmers, foresters and other land managers in tier two would focus on delivering locally-targeted environmental outcomes. The third tier would pay for larger-scale, transformational projects – such as restoring peatland. Farmers and land managers will have 10 weeks to have their say on the details of the new scheme, with government capturing their knowledge and experience to ensure it does not repeat the mistakes of the EU’s burdensome Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). This will be supported with a number of regional events across the country for knowledge sharing between farmers, land managers and foresters and Defra officials designing the scheme. The government has today also published a future farming policy update, as the Agriculture Bill goes through the Committee Stage in the House of Commons. This sets out how future policies will be designed to ensure increased productivity goes hand in hand with environmental initiatives, with further detail on issues including:
The Secretary of State’s speech at the NFU conference will be live-streamed from 8am. Details on how to stream the speech. The Environmental Land Management Scheme discussion document will be open for views on Citizen Space, and the future farming policy update can be read in full on GOV.UK.
