What assessment has the Welsh Government made of the potential job losses in the farming sector and wider rural economy as a result of the Sustainable Farming Scheme?
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs | Answered on 12/12/2025
The comprehensive set of evidence relating to the Sustainable Farming Scheme that I published on 30 September includes modelled results of simulated changes in Standard Labour Requirements on farms in Wales as a result of entering the SFS. These are not the same as job losses.
