PACK INQUIRY INTERIM REPORT OUT

Posted on 3 February 2010

Brian Pack’s initial report on how funding for Scottish Agriculture is to be delivered following the forthcoming reform of the Common Agricultural Policy was launched this week. Discussions on the shape of the CAP post-2013 are already underway and the 68 page report makes a strong case for the ongoing direct support of agriculture and food production.

The report discusses an area-based payment focused on productivity, but with other funds directly connected to achieving specific outcomes.

There are many other issues highlighted within the report, including the future eligibility of land for support and whether this will extend to other land use sectors, such as forestry, which were not previously supported.

Contact Bowlts for more details and information on how the changes could affect you.
