Investing in sustainable agriculture

Hundreds of rural businesses with projects that protect the environment and mitigate the impacts of climate change will share more than £14 million this year from the Agri-Environment Climate Scheme (AECS). The next funding round is now open.

The forthcoming round will target agri-environment support, organics and slurry storage options, and will support the ambition to double the amount of land under organic management by 2026.

You can access more information about the funding here.

Our agri team, led by Partner Mark Gibson, are here to help with any of your agri accounting and estate planning needs. Please get in touch here.
