Organic Farming: Standards
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has considered the potential merits of offering (a) enhanced and (b) conditional Agricultural Property Relief on (i) land farmed with certified organic production standards and (ii) farms making the transition to certified organic standards.
- Answer
-
There are no plans to change the qualifying conditions for agricultural property relief to distinguish between conventional and organic farming.
The Government is supporting organic farming, along with other environmentally friendly farming techniques, through Environmental Land Management schemes that are paying thousands of farmers for pesticide free farming and natural soil management methods such as the use of companion crops. This support helps ensure farmers can produce the food the country needs while also protecting nature.
