Environment

The NFU Environment Forum leads the way for British farming to ensure food production and environmental maintenance go hand-in-hand.

We aim to create benefits for all farm businesses as well as the environment by working with members, other NFU commodity boards, government, government agencies and other stakeholders to ensure farmers’ views on the environment are at the forefront of policy making.
