Abstract

These Regulations, which apply to England only, are made under the Agriculture Act 2020 (c.21). The Secretary of State has the power to give financial assistance to farmers, foresters and other beneficiaries responsible for the management of land for purposes listed in section 1(1) and (2) of that Act. Such purposes include, but are not limited to, environmental protection and enhancement, public access to the countryside and measures to safeguard livestock and plants. These Regulations make provision for the award of financial assistance under four financial assistance schemes: the environmental land management pilot scheme (reg. 7), the countryside stewardship scheme (reg. 8), the farming investment fund scheme, and the tree health pilot scheme (together referred to as “the schemes”).
