The Tenant Farmers Association also told us that young farmers had been promised that there would be a scheme specifically to support them to enter the farming industry, but that it had not seen this come forward. It asserted that the information that had been made available so far was “so lacking in detail that there is no way they can plan their businesses and put together a tenancy application”.60 We therefore asked witnesses about the risk that young farmers would leave the industry because they were unable to wait to see what would happen to the sector in the longer term. The National Farmers’ Union recognised this concern and told us about young farmers who were considering moving to Scotland, where there is greater certainty over the support on offer. The Confederation of Forest Industries also highlighted that a lack of clarity for the long term and how plans fit into wider net-zero targets makes it very difficult for farmers and other land managers to make sure their businesses are sustainable. It told us that this was “really worrying [as] … we desperately need the next generation to come through” and being able to deliver a sustainable farming industry for the future relied on it being profitable as well.61 The Department recognised that “providing more detail as soon as we can with good and wide communication is critical” and that it was seeking to do this.62
