The Welsh Government has launched the pivotal and final consultation on the future of the Sustainable Farming Scheme, the mechanism through which farmers will receive support in Wales from 2025 onwards.
The FUW’s Policy Team will be thoroughly dissecting the consultation document and will be travelling the length and breadth of Wales to present the consultation document to FUW members in the new year.
This consultation outlines the most important change to Welsh agricultural policy since the genesis of the Common Agricultural Policy in 1962 and the FUW therefore urges every member to engage and contribute to the Union’s response.
The consultation document can be found at:
