C AMPAIGN F OR THE FARMED E NVIRONMENT
This campaign is an industry-led, rather than regulatory approach, to recapturing the environmental benefits that were provided by set-aside. It unites key industry stakeholders - NFU, CLA, LEAF, FWAG, AIC, AICC, CAAV and GWCT - who are working in partnership with DEFRA and its agencies, Natural England and the Environment Agency, as well as the RSPB, in order to deliver advice to farmers and land managers on how they might best retain and increase the environmental benefits provided by their farmland, in a targeted and agronomically sensible way. Ultimately, the campaign is aimed at farmers and growers. Gamecover and Environmental Stewardship crops will play a vital role in helping to deliver the objectives of the campaign and help to keep the threat of compulsory set-aside at bay.
At Bartholomews we will be working with our customers to ensure that the campaign is a success.
