In our 2019 manifesto we promised to maintain the current annual budget to farmers for the lifetime of this parliament. At the recently concluded Spending Review the UK Government met this commitment by providing new exchequer funding on top of the remaining EU funding in each nation to ensure that farmers receive the same total funding next year as they received in 2019 when the manifesto commitment was made.

Our future policy will help farmers to continue to provide a supply of healthy, home-grown produce to high environmental and animal welfare standards. We will create an ambitious new system based on paying public money for public goods, which include improving air and water quality, and habitats for wildlife. During the transition to this new scheme, we will provide support for farmers to invest in equipment, technology, and infrastructure. This will help them to deliver public goods, improve their productivity and resilience, and put them in a strong position to take up offers through environmental land management.
Our manifesto committed to establishing the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to reduce inequalities between communities by raising productivity, following departure from the EU. The fund will operate across the UK in urban and rural areas. We want to ensure that the fund works for rural businesses, communities and the environment, and the design of the fund will take into account the dynamics of rural economies and the particular challenges faced by rural communities. It is only right that we take final decisions about the design of the UK Shared Prosperity Fund after a cross-government Spending Review.

The UK Government has guaranteed that any rural development projects where funding has been agreed before the end of 2020 will be funded for their full lifetime.
This means in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal there will be no substantive change for farmers, land manages and rural businesses who have agreements funded by the UK Rural Development Programmes (RDP) due to finish after 31 October 2019, and existing application and contracting arrangements remain in place for those planning to seek funding after this date but before the end of 2020.
We will continue to update information about the RDP for England and the schemes open for applications on the rural grants and payment pages of GOV.UK.
