Thank you for contacting me about the Environment Land Management (ELM) Scheme.
ELM is intended to provide a powerful vehicle for achieving the goals of the 25 Year Environment Plan and commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, while supporting our rural economy. I know that Ministers are currently in the process of developing the approach to making payments under ELM, identifying how best to support the provision of environmental goods and what approach to payments would be most appropriate for each tier in the scheme.
