About Defra
DEFRA is the UK government department responsible for safeguarding our natural environment, supporting our world-leading food and farming industry, and sustaining a thriving rural economy. Our broad remit means we play a major role in people's day-to-day life, from the food we eat, and the air we breathe, to the water we drink.
Defra's Area of Expertise
DEFRA specializes in environmental protection, sustainable agriculture, fisheries management, and rural development. We provide expert advice on climate change, waste management, and animal welfare. Our team is dedicated to ensuring the UK's natural resources are used sustainably and responsibly.
A random fact that I love is...
DEFRA is responsible for the protection of over 7,000 Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs) across England, covering an area of over 1 million hectares!
