<p>The Government has pledged to continue to support farmers financially by committing
the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of this Parliament, expected
in 2022. This includes all funding provided for farm support under both Pillar 1 and
Pillar 2 of the current Common Agricultural Policy. We are working across Government
to develop future funding arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>Our plans for farming and for
supporting farmers as the UK leaves the EU are underpinned by the Agriculture Bill.
The Bill is a central part of the Government’s programme of legislation to deliver
as smooth a departure as possible and achieve a green withdrawal from the EU. At the
heart of our new policy in England will be a system that pays public money for public
goods, rewarding farmers such as those in Yorkshire and Humber for creating habitats
for wildlife while improving air and water quality.</p>
