A new “roadmap” for farming sets out how farmers can cope with climate change change-driven extremes and cut reliance on expensive fertilisers, the Government has said.
Ministers have announced the long-promised farming roadmap, developed in partnership with the sector, which they say will give farmers certainty “beyond the next harvest”.
The plan includes an extra £53 million for the farming innovation programme – bringing total funding for this year to £123 million – with dedicated cash for robotics and soil health and water management.
