<p>We have supported, and will continue to support, apple and pear growers through
multiple avenues. This includes establishing the seasonal worker visa route, the Independent
Review of Labour Shortages in the Food Supply Chain, a review of automation in horticulture,
and working across Government on energy support. Support for the development of new
methods and technologies is available through the Farming Innovation Programme and
help to improve environment sustainability and productivity can be sought through
the Farming Investment Fund. Apple and pear growers can also benefit from our Environmental
Land Management schemes.</p>
