Policy-level enablers and barriers to the uptake of Sustainable Farming Practices
Authors: Amelia Magistrali and Niki Rust
Policy stakeholders in the UK and France were asked about policy-based enablers and barriers to farmers adopting sustainable farming practices as agricultural policy comes into a major period of revision. Participants shared their views on current policies and identified key actions for improvement, including:
- Increase funding to public agencies, advisory services and farmers
- Improve balance between incentives and regulations
- Enhance accessibility of communication and government-led training
- Promote collaborative knowledge exchange
- Implement multi-level agri-food supply interventions
This policy brief provides more information as well as policy recommendations.
