Written question asked by Jayne Kirkham (Labour) on Monday, 1 September 2025, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 3 September 2025. It was answered by Angela Eagle (Labour) on Friday, 19 September 2025 on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.


Sustainable Farming Incentive

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether new Sustainable Farming Incentives will take into account the potential impacts of grazing moorland on controlling monocultures.

Answer

The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) pays farmers and land managers to carry out actions that support the sustainable production of food and boost farm productivity and resilience, while protecting and enhancing the environment. Upland farmers play a key role in delivering sustainable food production and our environmental targets.

We will provide further details about the reformed SFI offer later this year.
