flag UK extends farming conservation program for one year to ensure environmental stability.

flag The UK government has extended the Countryside Stewardship Mid Tier scheme for one year, providing over 5,000 English farmers with continued funding and preventing a gap as older environmental programs end. flag The move, backed by up to £70 million, ensures farmers can maintain vital practices like planting wildflower margins and protecting habitats, supporting biodiversity and sustainable agriculture. flag The extension follows pressure from farming and environmental groups, with officials confirming stability during the transition to new Environmental Land Management schemes. flag While welcomed, groups stress the need for long-term planning and clearer timelines for upcoming programs.
