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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the level of publicly available information regarding SFI27 on existing environmental work carried out as part of previous funding schemes.

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.
