The UK Government’s Post-Brexit policy “Public Money for Public Goods” presents an opportunity for agriculture to redefine its role in delivering food production alongside ecosystem enhancement. A sustainable transition requires a long-term vision that includes social, cultural, and environmental dimensions of animal-based farming and how these systems provision public good outcomes. This session will gather experts across the beef and sheep farming sectors to define the opportunities and challenges in using public money for public goods to support context-specific agroecological outcomes; and how future financial support can be better tailored across the agri-environment schemes.
