<p>As part of our transition away from Direct Payments, the draft Agriculture (Delinked
Payments) (Reductions) (England) Regulations 2024 will apply reductions to delinked
payments in 2024. However, this money is not being lost to the sector. The overall
farming budget in England is being maintained at an average of £2.4 billion per year
across this Parliament. The money released from the reductions is being reinvested
in our other schemes for farmers and land managers. This means farmers can access
funding which will help reduce costs and improve productivity and resilience, as well
as benefitting the environment.</p><p> </p><p>Analysis of the impacts of removing
Direct Payments was included in the Government’s 2019 farming evidence compendium
and 2021 and 2022 Agriculture in the UK Evidence Packs.</p>
