Yn ystod y cyfnod hwn, rwyf wedi rhoi cyllid i swyddogion llaeth Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru i roi cyngor i ffermwyr ar fodloni’r rheoliadau.  Rwyf hefyd wedi gwrando ar farn rhanddeiliaid ar fanteision rheoleiddio a'r cyfle posibl o ddefnyddio mesurau eraill yn hytrach na rheoleiddio. Mae prosiect yn edrych ar opsiynau gwirfoddol, wedi'i ariannu ar y cyd gan Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru ac NFU Cymru, wedi bod ar waith i ddatblygu fframwaith dŵr drafft. Mae'r gwaith hwn wedi tynnu sylw at y ffaith y gallai fod yn bosibl cynnig dull mwy hyblyg yn seiliedig ar ymreolaeth haeddiannol i gynnig yr un canlyniadau â rheoleiddio.Rwyf am edrych ymhellach a oes ffordd y gallwn ddarparu hyblygrwydd i ffermwyr i gyflawni canlyniadau amgylcheddol yn y ffordd sydd fwyaf addas i fusnesau unigol.
During this period, I have funded National Resources Wales dairy officers to provide advice to farmers on meeting regulations. I have also listened to the views of stakeholders on the benefits of regulation and the potential opportunity of using alternative measures to the regulatory baseline. A project exploring voluntary options, jointly funded by Natural Resources Wales and NFU Cymru, has been working to develop a draft water framework. This work has highlighted it may be possible to offer a more flexible approach based on earned autonomy to deliver the same outcomes compared to regulation. I want to explore further if there is a way we can provide farmers with the flexibility to achieve environmental outcomes in a way which is best suited to individual businesses.
