The Environment Agency has launched a campaign to highlight the risks of growing high-risk crops, which can lead to pollution and flooding, in the South West of England.

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs has announced that British farmers and growers will continue to have access to important pesticides to support resilient and profitable food production and cut input costs.

nglian Water has begun sharing its allocated water resources from the River Nene with nearby farmers to enable them to take extra water for their crops, as well as helping maintain levels in the RSPB Lower Nene washes, as the recent dry weather continues.

The Government has unveiled the next stages of its plan to reward farmers and landowners for actions which benefit the environment, supporting sustainable food production alongside nature recovery and work towards net zero.
