The NFU is lobbying government on behalf of members to improve agri-environment schemes, so that the schemes can work alongside productive farming.
We are calling for improvements to Countryside Stewardship by influencing Natural England, Defra and other government bodies.
In 2017 Defra will be paying the advance agri-environment payment a the increased rate of 75%. Advance payments have started being paid at this rate. This change being made following NFU lobbying.
