SFI & Countryside Stewardship Schemes
Whether you’re preparing for the reopening of SFI or exploring Countryside Stewardship options, John Chambers Wildflowers provides expert guidance, tailored wildflower seed mixes, and practical support to help you meet scheme requirements while enhancing biodiversity and farm resilience.
Sustainable Farming Incentive
The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) is a key land management scheme launched in 2022 (under post-Brexit framework) that pays farmers for actions that improve soil health, biodiversity, and support nature recovery and sustainable food production. The scheme is designed to be flexible, with farmers choosing environmental actions to suit their farming model.
The SFI scheme will reopen in June 2026 for smaller farms (to be defined by Defra) and those without current Environmental Land Management (ELM) agreements. From September 2026, the scheme will be open to all farmers.
Applications are open all-year-round with payments made quarterly.
Sustainable Farming Incentive
SFI schemes aim to support sustainable food production while enhancing soil health, reward farms for delivering public goods (habitat creation, resilient landscapes, clean water etc), and contribute to the UK’s biodiversity recovery and net-zero emissions targets.

Countryside Stewardship
Countryside Stewardship (CS) is a government-funded scheme that provides financial incentives to farmers, landowners and land managers to protect, restore and enhance their local environment.
The scheme is delivered through two tiers – mid and higher. The mid-tier scheme targets most farmers and landowners and the higher tier targets more high-priority areas for complex environmental management schemes.
Countryside Stewardship
CS aims to increase biodiversity through targeted actions that enhance priority habitats, improve natural resource management, and ensure long-term viability of agricultural practices.
