Defra’s Future Farming Programme will be discussing how farmers can contribute to new policies and procedures which will replace payments previously provided via EU funding. The Future Farming Hub will focus on new productivity and innovation initiatives in the sector, the Sustainable Farming Incentive Pilot and how the Programme has been communicating and engaging with stakeholders from across the sector.
Make sure to join Farmers Guardian chief reporter Abi Kay on day two of The CropTec show at 3pm, as she puts questions to a live panel of Defra speakers. The discussion will focus on a range of topics including the Sustainable Farming Incentive, encouraging productivity and how you can help shape new policies, with a general Q&A session at the end.
