A document published on Monday confirms that the old area-based subsidies will be halved by 2024 - and abolished by 2028. The cash saved will transferred into the new environmental ELM system.

More details of the new policies will appear over time, but environmentalists say the National Farmers' Union has already persuaded the government to water down its original intentions. Tier 3 is Landscape Recovery, which will focus on landscape and ecosystem recovery. This will include creation of large forests, peatland restoration, or the creation and restoration of wetlands and salt marshes.

“Those words are in the government’s document, but a plan for actually delivering it is noticeably absent.” He said of the whole plan: “The overall impression here is an abiding lack of detail.”

Tory Brexit farming policy: leave farmers stranded, import cheap crap from abroad. The end.

This should be interesting. This government seems incapable of any basic management or common sense i am sure the new farming act will be no different. All the leavers chickens are coming home to roost.

Operated by bean counters blanket schemes will result in the removal of sheep from mountains and grasslands which has been proven to decrease biodiversity leading to species like gorse and heather quickly smothering the land. Planting of monoculture forests for carbon credits

Wow, less sheep / cows more trees and bogs! So we import more food. Farmers will sell up, farm will go to rich people who will not farm the land. This is not a good farming policy MPGeorgeEustice

Not perfect, but a step in the right direction, moreso on the SFI. No more of this has to be a good thing...

I’m starting to believe British government really likes their tier systems, don’t they

PM should 'meet the people whose lives he's destroying' via YouTube

Removing Britain from the CAP will be one of the most beneficial changes of Brexit. The agricultural policy is the most bureaucratic, corrupt and wasteful arrangement anywhere.

offer to buy them out ..try import option of cheap crap food. Expand land owner & ancestral estates..... You can't make it up

Promising, but unless there is a freedom to roam as in Scotland, we could see large estates and areas of the countryside fenced off and the public excluded.

From Injected Cows to Injected Humans...coming to a town near you....toxic

“ There will be more trees, meadows and wetlands - and fewer sheep and cows as controversial EU farm subsidies are phased out.” Just think about that Leavers.

Reads like propaganda not news

HS2 - loss of 693 local wildlife sites 108 Ancient Woodlands 33 legally protected SSSIs 18 Wildlife Trust Nature Reserves 5 Intern'lly protected Wildlife sites 2 RAMSAR sites - wetlands of international importance 4 taxpayer-funded Nature improvement sites 22 Living landscapes

let me guess the UK may protect the sacred cow/ Scapa flow & surrender the North sea & English Channel for more EU gravy trains for the Whitehall chosen `phew' for 10 years+? Call me a cynical normal voter of 2019

BBC is mother of FAKE NEWS 😂
