Question
Will the Minister outline how the Habitat Wales scheme will support and strengthen Welsh-speaking rural communities?
Answer
Answered by Minister for Rural Affairs and North Wales, and Trefnydd
The Habitat Wales Scheme offers financial support to farmers to manage habitat land, including farmers not previously receiving agri-environmental support. This investment directly supports farm businesses, enhances the environment, which the tourism and activity sector is reliant on, and responds to climate change. All these benefits contribute to strengthening the resilience of Welsh-speaking rural communities.
