<p>The Church Commissioners encourage existing farm tenants to adopt environmentally
friendly farming practices across all their agricultural land. Throughout the year
the Commissioners’ asset managers and agents have conducted meetings with their existing
agricultural tenants to discuss various environmental opportunities, including hedgerow
improvements, benefits of cover crops and other regenerative farming practices.</p><p>When
re-letting farmland on the open market the Church Commissioners emphasise their net-zero
ambitions and seek out tenants who adopt nature-friendly farming methods, via a vigorous
tender process, farm letting particulars and updated farm business tenancies. The
new tenancies include soil improvement clauses and requirements for landlord and tenant
to work collaboratively on conducting carbon audits and environmental improvements
such as hedgerow planting.</p>
