The Poole Harbour Agriculture Group (PHAG) runs the Poole Harbour Nutrient Management Scheme (PHNMS), a voluntary nitrate balancing and trading scheme for farmers within the Poole Harbour catchment, targeted with reducing nitrates into Poole Harbour by 2030 in line with Government targets. The Scheme opened in Deeember 2022, for the first year of business of 2022/23 and had 202 farm businesses join the Scheme for this year. PHAG will deliver the "approved scheme"(PHNMS) as part of its commitment to help deliver the agricultural sector's fair share of nutrient reductions across the Poole Harbour catchment. PHNMS has been developed in line with the "Poole Harbour Consent Order Technical cal Investigation and Recommendations4" (PHCOTR) guideline produced by the Environment Agency and Natural England. PHNMS is a voluntary whole catchment approach that offers all farmers in the Poole Harbour (PH) catchment the opportunity to come together and collectively reduce nitrogen levels entering Poole harbour. It has been developed to work with a regulated approach managed and delivered by the Environment Agency. PHAG developed PHNMS to benefit the farming community in Poole Harbour, to enable all farmers in the Poole Harbour (PH) catchment to come together under one entity and to take colleetive action to meet any nutrient reductions required for the agricultural; PHAG has benefited the farming community in the following ways: a) The guidance and support of a farmer owned and controlled entitythe Poole Harbour Agricultural Group (PHAG) b) The implementation of catchment wide governance and management supporting its members in delivering catchment targets c) The use, refinement and where required further development of a farm level nitrogen accounting tool, used by farmers to inform nutrient management decision making d) The development and implementation of catchment level nitrogen balancing that incorporates nitrogen trading and which can be used to track a farmer's progress in delivering catchment targets e) Access to new environmental markets through trading. In the year the company sold nitrate credits and paid out to members.
The company's stakeholders are the farmers within the Poole Harbour catchment, as well as our partners of the Scheme: Environment Agency, Natural England, National Farmers Union, Country Landowners & Business Association, for example. The Scheme has an advisory body of Partners, called the PHNMS Project Group, this meets at a minimum of quarterly throughout the year, to allow a collaborative consensus driven forum, and is represented by all our Scheme partners. The farming community by being members of PHAG have the chance to feed in their thoughts and priorities through the Scheme Development Manager or via any of the farmer Directors. All Directors are farmers themselves within the catchment, often having lived and farmed in the catchment for a number of years and having built experience and a profile within the community.At all farmer meetings, we encourage feedback and comments to help drive the Scheme forward.
The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services was £7,200. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for director’s loss of office, which require to be disclosed.
No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
