Environment and Countryside Funding

To date, we provide:

• Payments to farmers under the  EU Common Agricultural Policy, such as the Single Payment Scheme and the Tir Cymru programme, which covers Tir Cynnal, Tir Gofal and Tir Mynydd.
• Food Processing and Marketing Grants to help farmers to branch away from core agriculture into other industries.
• Grant programmes run by Forestry Commission Wales. These are aimed at helping farmers develop woodland enterprises, the Woodland Grant Scheme and Better Woodlands for Wales Grant scheme.
• The Sustainable Development Fund. The fund aims to achieve a more sustainable way of living in which culture, wildlife, landscape, land use and community are conserved and enhanced.
