Future Farming: Post-Brexit changes to farming

Editor News

The Government has published information on variations to farming policy in England set to take place after Brexit.

The main changes include phasing out Direct Payments to move towards a more business-like partnership between the Government and farmers. There will also be changes in rules and regulations, and grant programmes will be implemented.

To avoid a rough transition for farmers and land managers, the shift from the current system to the new one will take place gradually over a seven-year period so that they have time to adapt.

The Government is also aiming to provide information on any further policy changes in a timely way to allow for any preparations that need to be made.
