Almost three-quarters of land in England is now in drought after experiencing record-low rainfall and unusually high temperatures. As the dry weather looks set to persist, we've gathered information and resources to help farmers and growers.
Together with the Rural Payments Agency (RPA), we've created a series of step-by-step guides to help livestock keepers apply for the Annual Health and Welfare Review, a funded annual vet visit, and the endemic disease follow-up visit.
We're consulting on proposed mandatory animal health and welfare rules for cattle, sheep and pig farms, covering yearly vet visits, flock and herd plans and disease control programmes. The consultation closes on 18 May. A one hour webinar on 2 April at 11am will help you prepare your response.
Applications for the next round of the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF 2026) open on 17 March. The guidance is now live, and we’re hosting a webinar to help you prepare.
Each month, we bring together the latest policy updates, funding opportunities, consultations, research and statistics, helping you stay informed about the issues that matter to you.
The Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) annual conference takes place on Tuesday 29 September.
The event will bring together suppliers, retailers and industry representatives. It will reflect on the GCA’s work to ensure fair treatment of suppliers and the support available to them, including how they can raise issues in confidence.
Read the new guidance to understand what the changes could mean for your business and how to prepare.
