Help reshape Britain’s post-Brexit policies

NFU members have a once-ina-generation opportunity to shape the Government’s thinking on the future of farm policy beyond CAP.

The Government has published a consultation paper on the future agricultural policy post-Brexit.

The consultation paper, also known as the Government’s “Command paper” is arguably the most significant development in government laying out UK agricultural policy since the passing of the 1947 Agriculture Act.

It sets out the Government’s strategy for post-Brexit agricultural policy that will succeed the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).

The consultation, which lasts for 10 weeks, comes six months after the NFU set out a detailed visionary paper on the Framework for Success for a Future Domestic Agricultural Policy.

This vision gives it a solid foundation from which to respond to the consultation but it wants to build on that, continuing the conversation with members across the country.

You can have your say at an NFU meeting in your region.
