This report aims to summarise and synthesise findings from projects in the Agri-Environment Monitoring and Evaluation Programme that were published during 2016, 2017 and 2018. It also includes findings from a number of relevant Research and Development projects that sit outside the Agri-Environment Monitoring and Evaluation Programme.
Natural England aims to work with Defra on understanding these findings and what they could mean for Agri-Environment Scheme development and delivery, as well as sharing the key messages internally to inform delivery staff and ensure that Natural England remains an evidence-based organisation. We also aim to share this report with key partners who contribute to and have an interest in the performance of AES.
