The Agriculture (Wales) Act 2023 (Welsh: Deddf Amaethyddiaeth (Cymru) 2023) is an Act of the Senedd Cymru which aims to promote the focus of sustainable land management in agriculture in Wales.[1] The Act was introduced on 26 September 2022 and granted royal assent on 17 August 2023.[2] The Act sets out four sustainable land management objectives and creates powers for Welsh ministers to provide agricultural support payments in relation to these objectives. The Act also includes provisions to provide agricultural tenants with a route to dispute resolutions, provides Natural Resources Wales the power to add conditions to amend, suspend or revoke felling licenses to prevent felling that would contradict other environmental legislation, and prohibits the use of snares and glue traps.[1]
