England鈥檚 upland farmers are facing an uncertain future despite increases in payments announced this week. The payment under the Sustainable Farming Initiative for moorland was 拢6.45 a hectare, which has now been increased to 拢10.30 a hectare, plus an added 拢6.15 a hectare for common land - so a possible increase of 拢16.45. However the Foundation for Common Land warns that the transition from the EU system of direct payments to a public money for public goods approach will leave many farming on fells and moorland significantly worse off.

All week we鈥檝e been looking at the free trade deal agreed between the UK and Australia and its impact on food and farming here. We consider what it might mean for the UK's beef industry and we hear from the 大象传媒鈥檚 Global Trade Correspondent Dharshini David about other trade deals currently in negotiation.
