This episode of the Farmers Weekly Question Time Podcast examines a ground-breaking new farm tenancy agreement.
Developed by the Crown Estate and the Tenant Farmers Association, the agreements are called Environmental Farm Business Tenancies (eFBTs).
EFBTs are 15-year-long tenancy agreements which encourage tenant farmers to diversify in a way which benefits both the tenant and the landlord.
The expert panel answering questions on this podcast episode are:
- Defra farm minister Daniel Zeichner MP
- George Dunn, chief executive of the Tenant Farmers Association
- Paul Sedgewick, managing director of Windsor and rural at the Crown Estate
- Kevin Kennedy, partner at law firm Burgess Salmon
This Farmers Weekly Question Time session was recorded live at the Tenant Farmers Association conference on 1 May 2025 at Windsor Great Park.
Farmers Weekly Question Time is hosted by Farmers Weekly Podcast editor Johann Tasker. To attend future Farmers Weekly Question Time events, visit fwi.co.uk/questiontime.
