Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what response, if any, they have had from the agricultural industry in England regarding the Agricultural Transition Plan 2021 to 2024, published in November 2020.
Since November 2020, we have held frequent engagement sessions with both the agricultural industry representatives and farmers and heard views from across the sector. We have utilised those views in our subsequent communications during 2021 to provide further details to the schemes within the plan. There has been a high level of interest and we are working with the industry to ensure Transition Plan can deliver the range of expected outcomes.
