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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will make an assessment of the effect that the EU's proposed three-crop diversification scheme will have on the UK's farming economy.

The Common Agricultural Policy’s Greening requirements, which include the crop diversification rule, were implemented in 2015.

As we prepare to leave the EU, we are looking at removing the rules that are unnecessarily burdensome, focusing instead on what works best for the UK. We want to free our farmers to grow more, sell more and export more British food, whilst upholding our high standards for the environment and animal health and welfare.
