Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what information her Department holds on the proportion of farmers that are engaged with rewilding.

We do not keep information on “rewilding” which is a term with a wide range of interpretations and definitions. We are supporting farmers to improve the environmental sustainability of their business through Environmental Land Management. Those schemes are designed so that farmers can choose what to do with their land.
