When it comes to agricultural land, farmers will be informed whether their land would be best used for farming or for alternative uses, such as forestry, wetland, or peatland restoration. At present, around 70 percent of the U.K. land is used for agriculture, primarily for livestock. The government will be tasked with providing incentives to encourage (but not force) farmers to switch to the most appropriate land use. Farmers have largely welcomed the framework, but many have called for clear guidance, the right policy framework, and incentives to ensure the plans for land use are achieved.
