There are a few references to this around the forum, but worth a thread to itself with all the documents attached for you to read and also the way you actually have the chance to have a say. This is from Gov.uk below:
Historic opportunity for farmers to help shape future farming policy
DEFRA has launched a consultation into the future of British farming and the environment, placing the power back into the hands of our farmers and growers after nearly 50 years of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
The Environment Secretary Michael Gove said:
“As we leave the EU, we have a historic opportunity to deliver a farming policy which works for the whole industry. Today we are asking for the views of those who will be affected to make sure we get this right so any future schemes reflect the reality of life for famers and food producers.
“The proposals in this paper set out a range of possible paths to a brighter future for farming. They are the beginning of a conversation, not a conclusion and we want everyone who cares about the food we eat and the environment around us to contribute.”
Consultation closes 8 May 2018
