Recommendation 11

The Government’s projections for changes in land use in England by 2050, contained in its current consultation on a Land Use Framework, indicate a potentially substantial increase in the land area allocated to nature recovery, either alongside or instead of agricultural production. 56 Implementation of any land use framework, and the policy instruments put in place to support changes of use, will require careful scrutiny to ensure continued support for food security in England alongside initiatives for nature recovery. (Conclusion, Paragraph 65)
