Recommendation
Evidence suggests that some farmers currently do not pay for environmental advice because it is not deemed commercially relevant to them. As the focus of farm payments moves to public goods, it is important that these farmers are supported to access the advice that they will need to ensure they are not left behind. Defra should explain in its response to this Report how it will ensure that a reluctance to pay for advice does not inhibit the uptake of ELM and the delivery of public goods.
