Geoffrey Cox
Conservative, Torridge and Tavistock
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to support business advisory services such as (a) Business Information Point West Devon and (b) the Future Farming Resilience Program.
Daniel Zeichner
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Farming Resilience Fund (FRF) was developed to help farmers through the early years of the Agricultural Transition, specifically to assist farm businesses to adapt to the initial reductions in the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS).
Feedback about the FRF has been overwhelmingly positive, including about the services offered by Business Information Point on behalf of Devon County Council.
Defra will carefully consider the findings from the Farming Resilience Fund, alongside other advisory programs, to shape what any future support might look like.
