The scheme objectives are to support farmers to:

  • reduce carbon and greenhouse gas emissions.
  • adapt to climate change and build greater resilience into farm businesses.
  • improve water quality and reduce flood risks.
  • contribute towards a reversal in the decline of Wales’ native biodiversity.

Crops and activity supported through the Growing for the Environment scheme have been pre-identified as offering clear and quantifiable benefits to the environment and farm business.
