Currently the Environment Agency has a strategy for safe and sustainable sludge use (biosolids) and a review programme for its compost, anaerobic digestate and poultry litter ash Quality Protocols. The Government is making substantial investments to improve the management of organic nutrients. In 2022 Defra launched the Slurry Infrastructure Grant, which committed to spending £200m over 3 years on grants to improve the storage and management of slurry on farms. The Government has a long-term plan to support the development of novel fertilisers. Last year Defra announced a new £25 million Nutrient Management Theme under the Farming Innovation Programme, aimed at supporting the development and adoption of novel techniques for improving nutrient management, including the development of novel fertilisers. The theme will launch in spring 2024. Additionally, Defra will consult on the reform of the fertiliser regulations later this year with the intention of providing a clearer route to market for products that may be created using inputs from organic sources. The government’s Food Strategy published in June 2022 sets out the government’s approach to delivering a prosperous agri-food sector that seeks to reduce the environmental impact of the food system. Defra and the Environment Agency engages with the agri-food industry throughout the supply chain to support an increase in farming standards, with soil health as one of the main priorities. We will continue to work with the Food Data Transparency Partnership to share knowledge and ideas for positive environmental outcomes. We will work towards a review and revision of the EIP in 2028, informed using an evidence-based approach as well as appropriate stakeholder engagement. This will consider how the current EIP23 may need to be revised to best drive action against the 10 goals included within the plan.
