Sustainable Farming Incentives

The expanded Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) offer is an agri-environment scheme paying farmers and land managers to farm using sustainable practices. These practices are available as 102 actions that you can pick and choose from – we can help you make that choice!

An SFI agreement usually lasts for three years (some actions may last longer). Payments are made at the end of each quarter and in addition to being paid for carrying out each action, a management payment is available to help set up and manage agreements.

Examples of different actions available and the payment rates are shown below:

The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) offers flexibility, choice and regular payments to incentivise ongoing environmental management. We at Bagshaws can offer you support in preparing and submitting an application and expert guidance and management throughout the agreement period.
