New rules to tackle diffuse water pollution from agriculture in England

We want to know what you think about some proposed new rules for all farmers to help reduce water pollution from agriculture. They will also improve farm efficiency and build on good practice. The proposed rules relate to managing phosphorus. They would not be part of cross compliance. We have developed these proposals with advice from the agriculture industry.

This consultation is of interest to farmers, farm advisers and contractors, water companies, leisure and tourist industries, and environment organisations.
