ABOUT THE FUNDING

Between 2021 and 2027, the government will gradually reduce and then stop Direct Payments. Instead, farmers will be supported to improve the environment, improve animal health and welfare, and reduce carbon emissions.

There will be three levels of support aimed at paying for sustainable farming practices, creating habitats for nature recovery and making landscape-scale change such as establishing new woodland and other ecosystem services.

The move away from Direct Payments will be a big change for some farmers, so they will happen over a 7-year transition period to give time to plan and adjust. The Future Farming Resilience Fund has been funded by DEFRA to allow us to support farmers and land managers with this transition.

The support is free and available from October 2022 to any farmer or land manager currently in receipt of BPS payments. We are able to support farmers throughout Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

If you would like to attend the Navigating the Agricultural Transition workshop before receiving one-to-one support, you can find more details here. Once you have attended a workshop you can ask to be referred to The DR Company for your support.

Alternatively, get in touch with us directly to book in a meeting with one of our farm advisors without needing to attend any meetings.
