Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many farm businesses are participating in Environmental Land Management scheme programmes in each (a) constituency, (b) local authority and (c) region of England.
There are three new schemes that will reward farmers for their environmental land management; these are the Sustainable Farming Incentive, Local Nature Recovery and Landscape Recovery schemes.
The Sustainable Farming Incentive is the first of the new environmental land management schemes to open for applications. As of 18th October 2022, over 4,450 farmers had started their applications, of which 1,980 had been submitted to the Rural Payments Agency. This figure includes applications received for both the pilot scheme launched in 2021 and early rollout of the scheme in June 2022.
The following number of farm businesses in the associated regions have submitted an application to the Rural Payments Agency.
