The UK's transition to post-Brexit agricultural funding has been slow due to several factors:• 1. Replacing the CAP with a bespoke system required extensive consultation and legislative changes.
• 2. COVID-19 disrupted government operations and shifted priorities.
• 3. Ongoing EU negotiations created uncertainty for domestic agricultural policies.
• 4. Devolution added complexity, requiring coordination across the UK whilst respecting regional autonomy.
• 5. Criticism from farmers and environmental groups led to revisions and further consultations.These challenges have contributed to a complex and protracted implementation process.
