THE TVFF FOCUS

Water Management

‘Clean and plentiful water’ and ‘Reduced risk of harm from environmental hazards’ are goals of Defra’s Environmental Improvement Plan.

The TVFF plans to establish new wetland habitats within sub-catchments of the Teign. We will identify locations where we can reduce rates of surface runoff into watercourses, improve water quality, enhance biodiversity and landscape character and support flood risk management. This will be done through NFM interventions as well as farm advice and habitat creation elsewhere within the catchment.

Biodiversity matters because it supports the vital benefits we get from the natural environment. CS schemes offer land management options and capital works to restore, maintain and create habitats and support the recovery of priority species.

The 2021 Net Zero Strategy set out the Government’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the economy to reach net zero by 2050. Agriculture represents around 11% of total UK greenhouse gas emissions.

Net Zero

As part of Defra’s Environmental Improvement Plan the government is committed to providing clean air by reducing the emissions of 5 damaging air pollutants by 2030.
