<p>We received 113 proposals and ideas for tests and trials up to the 30 September
2018.</p><p> </p><p>We are taking 50 forward in phase one. Those selected for the
first phase of testing will help us to test critical elements and building blocks
of the new system.</p><p> </p><p>The 50 proposals we are taking forward are based
around four broad themes:</p><p> </p><ul><li><p>Testing how the land management plan
will work with different groups, sectors and geographies. We will explore what information,
tools and support land managers will need to develop the plan and who would be involved.</p></li><li><p>Area
based approaches looking at the way in which local priorities can be determined at
different spatial scales.</p></li><li><p>How we value and pay for natural capital
so the new schemes reward farmers and land managers for the true value of delivering
the environmental benefits.</p></li><li><p>The role of new or innovative delivery
mechanisms such as payment by results and reverse auctions.</p></li></ul><p> </p><p>Thirty-five
of the proposals we are taking forward in phase one have a specific regional focus
or bounded geographic interest:</p><p> </p><ul><li>The North</li><li>The Midlands</li><li>Anglia</li><li>The
South and South East</li><li>The South West</li></ul><p> </p><p>The number of farmers
and land managers to be involved in each Test and Trial are extremely variable and
not known at this stage. We are working with proposers to develop their proposals
into tests or trials.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Below is a breakdown of the 35
