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

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to provide long-term funding certainty until 2035 for Sustainable Farming Incentive applicants.

The Government has allocated a record £11.8 billion to sustainable farming and food production over this Parliament. This includes increasing spend on nature-friendly farming, including Environmental Land Management schemes, towards £2 billion by 2028/29. There will be future Sustainable Farming Incentive offers and, in keeping with the Farming Roadmap 2050, we plan to make an SFI27 offer available.
