Wrth i Gymunedau Gwledig – Rhaglen Datblygu Gwledig Llywodraeth Cymru ddod i ddiwedd ei hoes, bydd y cynllun yn cynnig cymorth i ffermwyr cymwys, gan gynnwys ffermwyr Glastir Uwch, Tir Comin ac Organig pan ddaw eu contractau i ben ar 31 Rhagfyr 2023\. 


Bydd cyfnod ymgeisio’r cynllun yn dechrau’n ddiweddarach eleni, a bydd contractau’n dechrau ym mis Ionawr 2024 gan sicrhau na fydd bwlch ar ôl i Glastir gau ym mis Rhagfyr 2023\.


Caiff manylion y cynllun newydd eu cyhoeddi ar ôl trafod â rhanddeiliaid a chyhoeddir y gyllideb cyn i’r cyfnod ymgeisio ddechrau.


Bydd y cynllun newydd yn golygu y caiff mwy o ffermwyr gymryd rhan a diogelu cynefinoedd gan sicrhau’r un pryd y bydd y gwelliannau mawr a wnaed trwy Glastir yn cael eu cadw.


Mae diwedd Glastir yn golygu hefyd y bydd holl ffermwyr a rheolwyr tir Cymru yn cael ymgeisio am yr holl Gynlluniau Buddsoddi Gwledig sydd ar gael, gyda llawer ohonyn nhw’n eu paratoi i ymuno â’r SFS.  Ar hyn o bryd, nid yw ffermwyr Glastir Uwch yn cael ymgeisio am y cynllun Grantiau Bach – Amgylchedd.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Materion Gwledig:



> Trwy Glastir, rydyn ni wedi cefnogi ffermwyr i ddiogelu a gwella cynefinoedd; rydym am warchod y buddsoddiad hwnnw wrth i ni symud i’r Cynllun Ffermio Cynaliadwy.
> 
> 
> Mae’n dda gen i gyhoeddi heddiw gynllun amaeth\-amgylcheddol interim i gefnogi ffermwyr i ddiogelu cynefinoedd gwerthfawr tan y daw’r SFS.
> 
> 
> Mae’n bwysig bod gennym gynllun i wneud yn siŵr nad ydym yn colli’r gwelliannau mawr a wnaed trwy Glastir. Rydyn ni’n annog ffermwyr i gymryd rhan.
> 
> 
> Argymhellodd y Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd na ddylai fod bwlch rhwng diwedd Glastir a dechrau’r SFS a dyna yw diben y cynllun rydyn ni’n ei gyhoeddi heddiw.
> 
> 
> Mae’r cynllun interim yn gam pwysig at gyflwyno’r Cynllun Ffermio Cynaliadwy a fydd yn cynnal ffermwyr i gynhyrchu bwyd yn gynaliadwy a mynd i’r afael yr un pryd â’r argyfyngau hinsawdd a natur. Mae’n paratoi’r ffordd at yr SFS a’i egwyddorion Rheoli Tir yn Gynaliadwy.

As the Welsh Government Rural Communities – Rural Development Programme ends, this will provide alternative support for all eligible farmers, including Glastir Advanced, Commons and Organic farmers when their contracts expire on 31 December 2023


The application window for the scheme will open later this year, with contracts commencing in January 2024 to ensure a seamless transition as Glastir closes in December 2023\.


Further details of the new scheme will made available following discussions with stakeholders. The budget available will be announced prior to the application window opening.


The new scheme will enable more farmers to take part and protect habitat land, while also ensuring the important gains made by Glastir are maintained. 


The ending of Glastir also means all farmers and land managers in Wales will be able to access all of the available Rural Investment Schemes, a number of which will prepare them to enter SFS. Currently, Glastir Advanced farmers are unable to apply to the Small Grants \- Environment scheme.


The Minister for Rural Affairs said:



> Through Glastir, we have supported farmers to maintain and enhance habitat protection; we want to maintain this investment as we transition to the new Sustainable Farming Scheme.
> 
> 
> I’m pleased today to announce an interim agri\-environment scheme to continue supporting farmers to protect valuable habitats ahead of the introduction of the SFS.
> 
> 
> It’s important we have a scheme to ensure the valuable gains made under Glastir are not lost, and we’re also able to encourage more farmers to take part.
> 
> 
> The Climate Change Committee recommended there should be no gap between the end of Glastir and the start of the SFS, and this is what we are delivering today.
> 
> 
> The interim scheme is an important step as we progress towards the Sustainable Farming Scheme which will support farmers to produce food sustainably at the same time as addressing the climate and nature emergencies.  It paves the way towards the SFS and its Sustainable Land Management principles.
