Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much funding was provided to farmers through the Sustainable Farming Incentive in 2021.
We started the early roll out of Sustainable Farming Incentive in June 2022. That spend will be accounted for in financial year 23/24. We recently published the first annual report that set out spend across farming reforms in financial year 2021/22 https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/future-farming-and-countryside-programme-annual-report-2021-to-2022/future-farming-and-countryside-programme-annual-report-2021-to-2022-html-version
