Irranca-Davies, Wales’ deputy first minister and secretary for rural affairs and the environment, said the final scheme was “the result of more than 12 months of intense work” involving farming unions, meat, livestock and dairy sectors as well as environmental groups “to get the balance”.
Although he would not give any detail about the scheme, he told BBC Politics Wales it was “going to be unlike anything else that’s been delivered in the UK”.
“It’ll be a whole farm approach and a whole nation approach that delivers for the people of Wales,” he said.
“They want to see farming that produces good food to high animal welfare standards and also does the right thing for the environment.”
The minister would not commit to publishing an impact assessment of the final iteration as he said work was ongoing.
The assessment of the first iteration of the scheme predicted 5,500 jobs would be lost and livestock numbers would be cut.
Meanwhile, the government is also under pressure from environmentalists to ensure that the plan is ambitious.
As 80% of Wales’ landscape is under the care of farmers, it is also argued they have a key role to play in helping the effort to tackle climate change and the losses in nature.
