Farm for Scotland’s Future - Scottish Wildlife Trust
The Trust has joined members of Scottish Environment LINK to call for a farm funding system that works for nature, climate and people.
The Farm for Scotland’s Future campaign, advised by farmers’ groups, calls on the Scottish Government to replace the decades-old system of farm funding with a new system that helps farmers and crofters manage their land in ways that protect and restore nature, tackle climate change, and revitalise rural areas.
As well as producing food, farmers and crofters manage three quarters of Scotland’s land. Yet many current farming practices cause pollution and severely deplete our wildlife. Farming is also one of the top three sources of climate emissions in Scotland.
