This document is an output of the policy-led analysis within the Land Use Transformations (LUT) research project (C3-JHI-1) part of the 2022-27 Scottish Government (SG) Strategic Research Programme. The LUT project has a focus on how to deliver high level policy outcomes – especially achieving “Net Zero and other environmental objectives”. The Vision for the Agriculture Bill signals the potential for a transformation in agricultural support, particularly via the use of Enhanced Conditionality (EC) on at least 50% of direct payments. The research focussed on the proposed EC payments, but in the context of all four Tiers of the Agricultural Support Package. It used the July 2022 list of 93 proposed EC measures covering GHG emissions reduction; soil health; and biodiversity.
