Hull and East Yorkshire Local Nature Partnership (HEY LNP) would like to share some information which may be of interest to residents in the area, particularly those involved in farming or land management.
The Sustainable Farming Incentive 2026 (SFI26) is a UK Government scheme designed to support farmers in managing their land in a more sustainable way. It offers financial incentives for a range of environmentally beneficial practices, including improving soil health, protecting water quality, and contributing to nature recovery.
The scheme provides a choice of actions, allowing farmers to select options that best suit their land and business while supporting both environmental outcomes and food production.
Applications for SFI26 will open in two phases:
Window 1: June 2026
Window 2: September 2026
To be eligible, applicants must have at least 3 hectares of agricultural land.
To support farmers thinking of applying for the Sustainable Farming Incentive, the HEY LNP have produced a resource aligning the Priorities and Measures (actions) of the Hull and East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (HEY LNRS) with SFI26 actions which could contribute to their delivery.
This and more information can be found at: https://heylnp.co.uk/sfi-hey-lnrs-alignment-tool/
