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

The revised SFI will include 71 actions, reduced from 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 for those without a live Environmental Land Management (ELM) revenue agreement.

In September, a second application window will open for all farmers. Further details will be provided in due course.
