A new £11 million Farming Connect programme will be available for farmers in Wales to support them as they prepare to move to the new Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS).
The programme was announced by the Deputy First Minister with responsibility for Climate Change and Rural Affairs, Huw Irranca-Davies.
The programme will be an integral part of the SFS and will support the implementation of the Scheme. The key aims will be to assist farm businesses in increasing resilience and productivity by focusing on areas such as improving soil health, animal health and welfare, pest management, benchmarking and developing additional skills and knowledge on a range of subjects.
