Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what figure of the SFI 2026 was unspent.
No funding allocated to new Sustainable Farming Incentive 2026 agreements was left unspent. We increased the funding available for SFI26 Window 2, including an additional £50 million announced by the Prime Minister on 15 August 2026 and a further £20 million before the window opened, bringing the total budget for new agreements to £310 million. The budget was fully allocated. We provided updates on budget allocation during the application window.
