The Sustainable Farming Incentive is designed to benefit your land and business.

The Sustainable Farming Incentive

The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) gives farmers a choice of actions that reward and support sustainable food production while protecting and enhancing nature.

SFI currently offers 23 actions. We are increasing the range of actions to improve the scheme. The expanded SFI offer available in summer 2024 will give farmers the choice of 102 actions.

While we’re implementing improvements to SFI and rolling out the new offer, we’ll temporarily manage access to the service.

We are recruiting farmers to have early access to the expanded SFI offer.

If you would like to be one of the first farmers invited to apply for the new actions, please register your interest.
