The Farming in Protected Landscapes programme has been developed by DEFRA and will run from July 2021 to March 2024. The time-limited programme aims to help farmers and land managers adapt to future changes in the agricultural sector.
The programme gives grants for projects in England’s special and unique Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) and National Parks. It is open to all farmers and land managers within an AONB or National Park in England. The programme will support projects that:
- Recover nature
- Tackle climate change
- Provide opportunities for people to discover the landscape
- Support sustainable farm businesses.
Apply for the The Farming in Protected Landscapes programme from 1 July 2021
