The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) now comprises 102 actions aimed at protecting and benefiting the environment alongside supporting food production and increasing farm productivity.
A well thought out SFI agreement can bring in significant income and help to replace the money previously received under the Basic Payments Scheme. It can also increase the efficiency of your business whilst also adding resilience and strengthening cash flow.
Please get in touch if you would like an SFI appraisal to assess the options suitable for your farm. Management payments are offered as part of the SFI scheme with these aimed at contributing towards application costs.
In addition to the Sustainable Farming Incentive, more technical and capital actions are to be released as part of Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier with the first applicants being invited to apply during 2025.
If you have any questions about the Sustainable Farming Incentive or about any other environmental scheme, please contact one of the team.
