Recommendation 4

4 Paragraph: 39

The Committee commends Defra’s commitment to co-designing the agricultural transition, and appreciates the challenges involved.

Conclusion
The Committee commends Defra’s commitment to co-designing the agricultural transition, and appreciates the challenges involved. However, there appears to be a disconnect in the co-design process between listening to stakeholders and being seen Environmental Land Management and the agricultural transition 41 to act on this feedback. The benefits of effective co-design should include helping to build trust and confidence between farmers and the Government, so this failure of communication represents a significant missed opportunity.
