[QUOTE="Janet Hughes Defra, post: 8178853, member: 153068"] Morning. Yes, happy to do that - here are a few examples: - we trialled different ways to support collaboration between farmers; we learned that facilitation is very valuable, and that most farmers prefer to enter into individual rather than collective agreements. Both of these will be reflected in the design of local nature recovery - we will fund local facilitators and have individual not collective agreements - we’ve had loads of detailed feedback from farmers in the SFI pilot about how the standards are working for them, and we will revise them all on that basis, as we’ve already done on the soils standards to make them more flexible, less prescriptive and more widely applicable - we’ve had trials of different ways to set payments such as auctions and payment by results, and learned that though there are advantages to these approaches, they can also be unfair and overly complicated and put people off taking part - we’re testing different ways to support whole farm planning - farmers have worked to develop some different approaches which we’re now testing with farmers in the SFI pilot (spoiler - guidance can be useful, mandatory templates and formats not so much, so we will reflect that in scheme design) - we’re adjusting the budget as we go to follow demand, make sure every farm type can access funding that works for them and allow people to choose what they want to get paid for - eg we increased the budgets for CS and productivity grants - we’re now working with groups of farmers to co-design the options for local nature recovery and standards for SFI, so that they work in a range of farm settings (rather than us designing them and asking for feedback, as we’ve done previously) [/QUOTE]
