There is some good news and nbad news about SFI
The Good News
The government has committed £5 billion over 2 years to sustainable farming and nature recovery and we’ve worked hard to get as many farmers into environmental land management schemes as possible.
The largest of these schemes, the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) now has more than 37,000 multi-year live agreements and is not only delivering sustainable food production and nature’s recovery for today and the years ahead, but it is also putting money back into farmers’ pockets.
The Bad News
With record numbers of farm businesses in farming schemes and the sustainable farming budget successfully allocated, Defra have stopped accepting new applications for SFI.
