UK Government Secures £5 Billion for Sustainable Food Production

The UK Government has announced a historic investment of £5 billion to support sustainable food production. This funding will assist farmers over a two-year period, enabling record participation with 50,000 farm businesses and over half of all farmed land managed under environmental land management schemes. A cap of £1.05 billion was reached for the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme for the years 2024/25 and 2025/26. All allocated funds have been paid to farmers or committed through existing agreements. The government is committed to transparency and will provide updates on the SFI program moving forward.
