<p>As part of our preparations to leave the EU, we have carried out a rigorous programme
of analytical work that has assessed the impact of various EU withdrawal scenarios
on the UK farming sector.</p><p> </p><p>Part of that programme has included modelling
work co-funded between the four UK agricultural departments. In August 2017 FAPRI-UK
published this analysis in the report “Impacts of Alternative post-brexit trade agreements
on UK agriculture: sector analyses using the FAPRI-UK model”. It considers the impact
of different trading scenarios on many farming commodity sectors. The full report
is available on Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute website –</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.afbini.gov.uk/sites/afbini.gov.uk/files/publications/FAPRI-UK%20Brexit%20Report%20-%20FINAL%20Clean.pdf"

</p><p>In addition, the Evidence and Analysis Paper, which accompanied the publication
of the Agriculture Bill, provides analysis of the various ways farmers are likely
to be affected by the movement from the area-based payments of the Common Agricultural
Policy to being rewarded for the public goods they produce under Environmental Land
Management (ELM). Further information can be found here –</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-future-for-food-farming-and-the-environment-policy-statement-2018"

</p><p>This analysis only applies to England, as agricultural policy in the UK is
devolved, and it is for each administration to decide its approach and what measures
it should adopt according to its evaluation of the situation which pertains to its
area. For details relating to the rest of the UK, please contact the relevant devolved
administration.</p>
