What is the SFI?
The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) is a government scheme that pays farmers in England to adopt environmentally friendly practices. This includes things like improving soil health, managing pests naturally, and creating habitats for wildlife. It's part of a broader shift away from the old EU agricultural subsidies towards rewarding farmers for public goods.
