A Westminster Food & Nutrition Forum policy conference
Key areas for discussion:
- Practicalities: the Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme, payment for public goods in areas like environmental and animal welfare standards, and support during the transition period;
- The impact of any changes on farm finance, further support that might be needed for the sector to reach net-zero emissions and sustainable practices in devolved nations;
- Farm finance and the overall payment process - what lessons can be learnt from the direct payment system under CAP, and how payments systems can adapt to events such as COVID19;
- Monitoring and measuring environmental standards and disseminating best practice;
- The evolving regulatory landscape, food security and productivity, and options for creating a system that promotes sustainability, stewardship, and efficient and competitive farming; and
- Issues for smaller farms and those with limited adaptive capacity.
