Elizabeth Truss has returned to Defra after being re-appointed as secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs.
Elizabeth will be leading work to promote the UK's food and farming sector, improve the environment and champion the environment.
Commenting on her re-appointment, Elizabeth said: "It is a privilege to serve in this Government and I am delighted to be returning as environment secretary.
"Growing the rural economy, delivering for our food and farming sector, helping our rural communities continue to thrive and ensuring the protection of our natural environment will be my priorities and I look forward to getting to work as soon as possible."
Joining Elizabeth will be George Eustice MP, who has been re-appointed as minister of state.
