Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will hold discussions with farming representatives and environmental groups on how to ensure workable environmental practices on UK farms.

I hold a range of meetings with farmers, food producers and environmentalists from across the UK on a variety of issues, including how to embed good environmental practices in farming. I will continue to engage widely and with the devolved administrations as we deliver on our manifesto commitment to develop a new environmental land management system. As set out in our manifesto, this is to be introduced in the next parliament.
