Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
The Welsh Government continues to provide support for young entrants and those who want to enter the agricultural industry through programmes such as Farming Connect and Venture. All eligible new entrants are also able to apply for any agricultural support schemes, as they become available. In the future, the proposed Sustainable Farming Scheme will be available to all types of farm and will support new entrants to enter the industry and establish sustainable businesses.
