The Welsh Government is seeking more farmers to participate in the next stage of the co-design process for designing the Sustainable Farming Scheme.
The proposed scheme is scheduled to be introduced in 2025 with a multi-year transition period to move away from the current BPS system.
Welsh farmers are encouraged to register to take part in the process to provide a direct view on the practicality of the proposals underpinning the new scheme and its wider policies.
The Welsh Government says that the scheme will ‘support farmers to lower their farms’ carbon footprint, help improve the environment and support the production of food in a sustainable way.’
The next phase of co-design will lead to the final consultation on the Sustainable Farming Scheme in spring 2023.
To register to be involved in the second phase of co-designing the new scheme, farmers can register their interest on the Welsh Government website or speak to their local Farm Liaison Service representative.
