UK Government proposed new farming scheme coming under criticism as not providing value for money

The video discusses the concerns of tenant farmers and small family farms about the future, particularly regarding the new government payment scheme. Farmers are uncertain about how the scheme will affect food production and their incomes. The current direct payment system, based on land ownership, will be replaced by a scheme focusing on sustainability and landscape recovery. MPs have raised concerns about the feasibility of maintaining food production levels with reduced land use. The government argues that farm incomes have improved post-Brexit, but farmers demand more details to plan effectively. They urge the government to collaborate on a sustainable way forward.
