Agriculture
Agriculture provides wildlife habitats, a well-loved landscape and a place for recreation – but it also has some less desirable impacts on the environment.
We regulate farming through regimes such as Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) compliance, water abstraction licences, discharge consents and farm waste regulations. Further information including ppc guidance is available according to your farming sector:
