The amount of money paid to farmers in England for environmental work will rise, the government says.
By Claire Marshall and Malcolm PriorFarmers in England will be paid more public money for protecting the environment and producing food more sustainably, the government has said.
The increased rates under ELMS will come from existing money, reallocated from the previous direct payment subsidies given to farmers under the EU scheme. Now 30,000 farmers who have signed up to a countryside stewardship scheme - which is being expanded under ELMS - will see an average increase of 10% to the money they receive for ongoing environmental work, such as habitat management.
He said: "The risk is that a large proportion of the overall budget will now be spent on attracting farmers into the sustainable farming incentive scheme, at the cost of more stretching measures and schemes."
