CLA responds to the UK Government’s announcement on the Sustainable Farming Incentive

THE Country Land and Business Association (CLA) has responded to the Government's announcement on 21 June 2023 that the SFI (Sustainable Farming Incentive) will be rolled out to start accepting applications from August, offering an improved, more streamlined process for farmers. Farmers will get paid for taking actions that support food production and improve farm productivity and resilience while also protecting and improving the environment. Additional actions under SFI 2023 will help ensure there is an offer that is attractive and workable for all types of farms.  The 23 actions on offer cover existing themes including:- soil health and moorland, as well as new actions on hedgerows, integrated pest management, nutrient management, farmland wildlife, buffer strips, and low input grassland.  When adopted at scale, these actions will support sustainable food production and contribute towards the environmental targets set out in the UK Government’s Environmental Improvement Plan. Optimising the use of nutrients through a nutrient management review, for example, will not only reduce carbon emissions and improve the natural environment, but can also reduce farmers’ costs.

Mark Tufnell, President of the Country Land and Business Association, said:- “We are pleased to see further details of the Sustainable Farming Incentive offer for 2023, which includes a number of improvements such as the addition of new payment options, and a considerable simplification allowing farmers to be paid for more options. Publication of the detailed handbook is most welcome. These changes show Defra is committed to responding to the feedback received from farmers on the ground, helping to ensure the scheme works for as many businesses as possible. We look forward to the scheme being rolled out to farmers in August, and strongly encourage them to look very closely at all that is on offer. We note that some 3,200 farming businesses will have to reapply for the schemes. It is a pity that the process could not have been smoother for these businesses, we will press Defra and the RPA to ensure further procedural improvements are made where necessary.”
