Government Offices promote sustainable development, protect the environment and help rural areas. We make sure the policies of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) are implemented and properly integrated with the work of other Government departments.

We work in partnership with the regional bodies and agencies to address the future of farming and develop thriving rural economies and communities. By implementing strategy, influencing policy and designing programmes to achieve sustainable food and farming sectors we can deliver a countryside for all to enjoy.
We also work across the region to coordinate and help deliver policy relating to a range of environmental, climate change, energy related issues and sustainable waste management.
