A survey is being conducted to allow the Welsh Government better understand how the actions and processes set out in the outline proposals for the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS) will work across different farm types.
The survey has been designed to understand whether Welsh farmers feel able to undertake the actions proposed in the recent SFS Outline, and if not, what are the main barriers, and what further support would be needed.
The actions span a number of areas from improving business performance, enhancing livestock health, and improving the management of soils, habitats and woodlands.
It is hoped as many farmers as possible complete the survey to ensure that the scheme proposals are achievable.
The survey is available at SFS Survey
To provide other ideas or experiences to help the development of the SFS, a feedback form is also available.
Both the survey and feedback form will close on the 21st November 2022. The results will be used to inform the final scheme consultation which will be published in 2023, before the transition into the SFS begins in 2025.
