In its third report on Defra’s Farming and Countryside Programme, the National Audit office scrutinises how well it’s being managed, what impact it’s had on farm productivity and how well it is delivering on environmental outcomes and food production.
The report highlights a lack of information and data, and an uncertainty surrounding how the Programme will develop, which is inhibiting long-term planning and investment by farm businesses. It states that ‘Around half of England’s farmers say they are not at all positive about their future in farming’.
In our latest article we take a look at some of the points of interest for our industry.
