Starting 18th September, farmers can enroll in the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), as per the recent announcement by Defra.

In a world grappling with the urgent need to combat climate change, the agricultural sector is stepping up to the challenge with innovative ideas and collaborative efforts. One example of this is the Climate Neutral Farms project.

The deadline for applying to the 2024 Countryside Stewardship Mid Tier agreements has been extended to September 15th, following valuable input from farmers. This extension offers individuals more time to conveniently submit their applications online.

Defra have announced the upcoming rounds of the Small R&D Partnership Projects and Feasibility Studies competitions, which will provide over £14 million in funding to encourage collaboration between farmers, growers, foresters, agri-businesses, and researchers.
