New Simpler Sustainable Farming Incentive Announced

Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds announced a new Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) offer while addressing the National Farmers’ Union Conference that will be simpler, fairer and more stable.

The new SFI will include 71 actions, a reduction on the current 102, and will be capped at £100,000 per year.

Applications will open in June 2026 for small farms (holdings of three to 50 hectares) and those without a live Environmental Land Management (ELM) revenue agreement.

In September, a second application window will open for all farmers. Further details will follow.
