Campaign for the Farmed Environment - The Campaign for the Farmed Environment unites key industry stakeholders, Defra, Natural England, the Environment Agency and the RSPB to advise farmers on how they can best retain - and increase - the environmental benefits provided by their farmland in a targeted and agronomically sensible way.


The aim is to retain and exceed the environmental benefits that used to be provided by set aside through an industry led and voluntary approach rather than via Government intervention. All the leading farming organisations are now working together to encourage farmers and land managers to voluntarily adopt important land management practices that will benefit the environment.
