The Government acknowledges the Committee’s recommendation concerning the urgent need for a clear and coherent vision for the farming sector, encompassing food security and the future of the Farming and Countryside Programme. The Government recognises the importance of setting out a long-term strategic framework to guide farming policy and support mechanisms. Defra is currently developing the 25-year Farming Roadmap, which will provide a vision for our farming sector and set the direction for how we get there, with a focus on delivering our food security and environmental objectives and supporting farms to be resilient and profitable. The Roadmap will bring together existing and emerging farming policies and programmes into a unified strategy, outlining how they will collectively contribute to measurable outcomes for food security, environmental sustainability and rural prosperity. The Government is committed to ensuring that the Roadmap reflects the views and needs of stakeholders across the farming and countryside sectors. Defra continues to engage with farmers, industry representatives, environmental organisations and rural communities to inform the development of the Roadmap. This collaborative approach will help ensure that the vision is both ambitious and achievable and that it supports a resilient and productive farming sector. The Government intends to publish the 25-year Farming Roadmap later this year. The Government remains committed to protecting food security, enhancing environmental outcomes and supporting the farming sector through a period of significant change.
