Ok that's fair, not very intersectional.
But this system doesn't work, farmers complain everywhere about having to part rewild as they already struggle with costs and knowledge barriers.
Big farms are efficient but often owned by profit only groups lobbying government and pretending to be for "the small farmer" while rivers are full of shit they create, a full rethink for the UK isn't a bad idea.
But then of course it can't be short term without future funds and planning as always seems to be the way...

The current schemes that replaced the EU CAP don't work well, this could be one if the few Brexit benefits.
Though perhaps individual countries can top up CAP payments and I know nature management farming schemes for pay exist in EU countries also. But not heard of a farming ubi.
