23. Farming and environmental stewardship


Land covered by environmental schemes,1992 to 2006

Stewardship schemes since: 1992 1999

Environmental schemes require farmers to demonstrate good environmental practice.


Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Countryside Stewardship Schemes have been
replaced by Environmental Stewardship. These schemes plus the Higher Level component
of Environmental Stewardship currently cover 1.2 million hectares.
In addition, an Entry Level component of Environmental Stewardship has been introduced.
These schemes require implementation of simple and effective environmental farm
management and cover 4 million hectares.
Since 1999 the area of land covered by environmental schemes has increased by almost
70 per cent excluding Entry Level Schemes, and increased seven-fold if these schemes are
taken into account.
