GLAS, the current agri-environment scheme, which is fully subscribed includes area-based actions such as 270,000 hectares of Low Input permanent Pasture action, 63,000 hectares of Traditional Hay Meadows and the active management of over 230,000 hectares of commonage.
Agri-environment policy is included in the CAP reform negotiations currently under way and any future schemes will be dependent on the outcome of these negotiations.
