Assembly Written Question 18087/17-22
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs for an update on progress in developing post-Brexit farm support schemes.
Answer: Work is underway to develop an agricultural support framework portfolio better suited to local needs and one that will provide for and secure long term sustainability within the industry.
In developing a future support framework, priority consideration is being given to address the four desired outcomes identified with key food, farming and environmental stakeholders, namely; increased productivity, environmental sustainability, improved resilience and a competitive supply chain.
I am determined to work with our
farmers, land managers and environmental stakeholders, to co-design a new approach that is focused on delivering these outcomes.
