Question
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?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
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.
