flag Wales' Senedd narrowly backed a revised farming scheme despite opposition claims it could cost 1,100 jobs and £76M in income.

flag A debate in Wales' Senedd over the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS) centered on claims it could cost 1,100 farming jobs, reduce livestock by 56,000, and cut farm income by £76 million, according to opposition Conservatives. flag They criticized the scheme as environmentally driven and harmful to food security and rural livelihoods. flag Welsh ministers dismissed the figures as speculative scenarios, not predictions, and defended the SFS as vital for sustainable agriculture and a sector worth £9.3 billion. flag The Senedd rejected the opposition motion 30-11 and narrowly approved the government’s revised version 22-20.
