Farm Grants Update & Navigating the Agricultural Transition

The Future Farming Resilience Fund has been funded by Defra to allow us to support farmers and land managers with the transition away from Basic Payment towards the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI). The support is free for any farmer or land manager who claimed BPS in 2023.

This FREE workshop will cover:

• Introducing the support to replace Basic Payment and timelines.
• Information on the Sustainable Farming Incentive Scheme (SFI)
• Other income streams relating to the Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMs)
• Farming In Protected Landscapes (AONB)
• The Farming Investment Fund including Slurry Infrastructure Grant and Farming Equipment and Technology Grant
• Stand Alone Water, Air and Boundary Capital Grants
• Woodland Grant Support
• Rural Prosperity Fund

You will also get the opportunity to sign up to get additional support through the Future Farm Resilience program including one-to-one on-farm visits and advice.
