SFI should support your business plan, not shape it.
Our latest ARC case study shows how the right advice helped a new tenant build resilience from the outset.
As 2026 SFI moves to 71 actions with a £100k cap, agreement design really matters.

"Our farmers are at the heart of food production, ensuring safe, high-quality food despite mounting global competition & climate pressures." The EU backs them with a clear strategy yet UK govt support remains absent.Where is the vision for British farming? @DefraGovUK @NFUtweets
This hits home! 👇 So many rural policies and agri-environment schemes feel like history repeating itself. Are we truly making progress, or just cycling through the same debates? Thought-provoking read. #RuralDevelopment #AgriEnvironment @CLAEast @nfueast @DefraGovUK
Are we progressing in rural development or just relearning old lessons? AE schemes, farm diversification, water management—issues we tackled decades ago, yet here we are again. Are we learning or just rebranding?
