Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the role of the environmental horticulture sector in helping the UK to reach its net zero targets.

Nature-based solutions, like restoring peat and planting trees, are key to tackling climate change and averting its impacts.

In recognition of the energy intensive nature of the sector, Controlled Environment Horticulture sites will be eligible to apply for Phase 3 of the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund. Phase 3 will open for applications later this month.
