Likely impacts upon future farming of different approaches to voluntary modulation
Janet Dwyer worked with Paul Silcock of Cumulus consultants on a small project for Defra over the winter of 2005-6, examining the likely impacts upon future farming of different approaches to voluntary modulation (the top-slicing of EU agricultural subsidies, in order to redirect these funds into agri-environment schemes). The report’s findings helped Defra to prepare its case to the Treasury, seeking UK match-funding for the redirected money.
