<p>The Government published “Health and Harmony: The future for food, farming and
the environment in a Green Brexit” on 27 February.</p><p> </p><p>At the heart of our
proposals is a new system of paying farmers and land managers “public money for public
goods”. Amongst the public goods we are consulting on are the preservation of environmental
goods including enhancing beauty, heritage and engagement with the natural environment.
Other public goods could include the preservation of traditional farming and landscapes
in certain areas, and public access to the countryside. The consultation also seeks
views on what other public goods the Government should support.</p><p> </p><p>We are
currently analysing the responses received to the consultation so far. The consultation
closes on 8 May and we will publish a response in due course.</p>
