Answer
Prices in Environmental Land Management schemes have increased three times in the last three years to reflect inflation and pay a fairer price for action. In 2022 and 2023 prices in Countryside Stewardship increased and at the National Farmers’ Union Conference last week the Secretary of State announced an increase in prices for Higher Level Stewardship agreements.
