Gan y bod tua 40 y cant o ffermydd da byw yn anelu i wella lles anifeiliaid dros y flwyddyn nesaf, a wnaiff Llywodraeth Cymru ddilyn arweiniad y sector preifat drwy wneud grantiau ar gael i gefnogi ffermwyr i yrru arloesedd mewn lles anifeiliaid?
The Welsh Government already provides support to farmers to drive innovation and transformational change in agriculture, including animal welfare, through the Sustainable Production Grant (SPG) and the Farm Business Grant (FBG). Animal health and welfare is expressly referred to in the Welsh Government Rural Communities – Rural Development Programme 2014-2020, through which both schemes are delivered.
Further information regarding both schemes can be found on the Welsh Government’s website.
In addition to direct grants, Farming Connect delivers knowledge transfer events, training and advice to farmers on animal welfare. These range from open on farm events to learn more about precision farming for example to one to one advice from a consultant on improving building infrastructure.
