▤ Verbatim text from source document

Environmental land management schemes pay farmers and landowners to deliver environmental benefits.

This document explains the principles which Defra will use to set payment rates for these schemes.

These principles will develop as we co-design new schemes. Specific details on payment will be provided alongside the guidance for each scheme.
