A farmer in Norfolk, England, has been paid almost £1.5 million of public money to stop rearing pigs to allow 5,000 new homes to be built. The deal is part of a new scheme to reduce the amount of harmful nutrients flowing into waterways in the county.
Under the scheme, local authorities are required to find ways to offset the impact of pollution on waterways caused by new developments. This is known as ‘nutrient neutrality’.
The deal in Norfolk has raised concerns that farmers elsewhere in the UK will be paid to effectively stop farming, which could weaken the UK’s food security.
The farmer, James Daniels, says he is “doing everyone a favour” by helping the environment. He says he will be compensated for the loss of his business, but many people are critical of the deal, saying that it is “obscene” and “a waste of public money.”
The deal is controversial, but it is seen as a potential solution to the problem of water pollution caused by new developments. It remains to be seen whether similar schemes will be implemented in other parts of the UK.
