The Sustainable Farming Incentive is available to the farming community, rewarding farmers for environmental benefits provided through their land management practices.
As the area-based Basic Payment Scheme is phased out, SFI represents an important consideration for farmers seeking to maximise farm income. For farmers who choose to enter the SFI, Defra have worked hard to ensure the scheme is easy to apply for, with the majority of farmers expected to complete their own applications.
In this workshop, we will help farmers and landowners to understand the SFI scheme and the application process. We will cover
The core requirements of the SFI schemes
Please note, this workshop will not go into detail on the various options available under SFI: to learn more about this, please click here
