In this episode, we look at government plans to reduce the area of UK farmland – and use it instead to restore nature and create wildlife habitats. The government's Land Use Framework for England – which is out for consultation – will earmark different areas of land for different uses. Objectives include food production, building 1.5 million homes this parliament, and helping to mitigate climate change. We examine what this means for key areas such as the Fens, with a visit to the Fenland Soil Conference in Ely, Cambridgeshire. With beef prices reaching record highs, we look at the prospects for the sector for farmers – and the price of steak for consumers. And as the battle over inheritance tax continues, we look at how banks say they are trying to support growers and livestock producers.

Thousands of farmers gather in London to lobby MPs and protest against changes to inheritance tax rules. From April 2026, agricultural assets worth more than £1m will be liable for 20% inheritance tax – leaving many farmers fearing for their livelihoods.

In this episode, industry leaders urge farmers not to take direct action following the government’s decision to impose inheritance tax on farmland. Thousands of farmers are expected to descend on London after the Budget announcement sent shockwaves through the industry. The protest will coincide with what the NFU is describing as a ‘mass lobbying’ of MPs to get the government decision reversed. The inheritance tax facing farmers following the Budget has understandably grabbed all the headlines. But the Chancellor also unveiled many more measures affecting agriculture. They included company car tax on farm pick-ups, an increase in employers national insurance – and the faster phase out of direct payments. Life insurance could be one way of mitigating the impact of inheritance tax on farmland. But farmers are urged to take advice rather than making rash decisions.
