Farming Minister Dame Angela Eagle has confirmed a £240 million budget for new Sustainable Farming Incentive agreements. In this post, we explain how the funding will be allocated, what it means for Window 1 and Window 2 applicants, and where you can find information to help you prepare for the scheme opening later this month.
Farmers, growers and foresters across England can now apply for new rounds of funding through the Accelerating Development of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) Fund. These grants help farmers run trials and demonstrations to test new approaches in real farming conditions and share what they learn.
There is still time to apply for funding through the Farming Innovation Investor Partnerships competition. If you are developing a near-market innovation that could benefit farmers or the wider agricultural sector, the application window remains open until 17 June.
Near-final scheme information for this year's Sustainable Farming Incentive offer (SFI26) is now available on GOV.UK.
