Following Britain leaving the European Union, and thus no longer being a part of the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU, the British government initiated the Environmental Land Management scheme (ELM) in 2024.[1][2]
Description
editThe Environmental Land Management schemes consist of three schemes to 'pay for environmental and climate goods and services':[3]
- the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) [4]
- Countryside Stewardship (CS)
- Landscape Recovery
As an example of a SFI intervention. Farmers can be paid for 'Flower-rich grass margins, blocks, or in-field strips'
