Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will ensure (a) access to future SFI schemes for farmers coming off existing agreements and (b) adequate funding available for that purpose.

The Government plans to offer SFI in 2027, in keeping with the Farming Roadmap 2050. Detailed scheme arrangements and timings will be published once design and delivery planning have been completed. We are working closely with farmers and stakeholders as SFI27 is developed and will provide further details as early as possible.
