Ploughing Through Brexit

Only a month ago we looked at what UK farming would look like after Brexit, and now we have officially left the EU. So, what does farming look like on the other side? 

Just one week before the final deadline for the end of negotiations, a historic trade deal was agreed between the UK and the EU leaving many farmers breathing a sigh of relief.

The deal keeps tariffs and quotas at zero, which is great news, but the devil might be in the detail. There has already been some disruption at the border as businesses try to work their way around the new requirements for importing and exporting resulting in many farmers facing sector-specific problems. 

This month on Ploughing Through Brexit we’re delving into the all-important UK-EU trade deal. We’re joined by David Swales, Head of Strategic Insight at AHDB, Tania Gesto-Casas, from the AHDB Brussels office and Gail Soutar, Chief EU Exit and International Trade Adviser at NFU.

With less than a month until we leave the EU, Ploughing Through Brexit podcast is back, in association with AHDB. We're kicking off with a discussion on the recently published Defra Agricultural Transition Plan. The plan will see a move away from direct payments to other sources of funding over a seven-period, but has Defra done enough modelling on how the future policy will affect the farming industry?

Farm leaders have criticised the plan for its failure to set out details on future payment rates which can prevent businesses from preparing for the loss of direct support and whether it considers the needs of upland farmers.

With many questions surrounding the plan, we speak to Janet Hughes, Defra’s Programme Director for Future Farming and Countryside, Sarah Baker, Strategic Insight Manager at AHDB and Dr Julia Aglionby to explore how AHDB can support the industry as it moves into the post-Brexit era.
