Integrated Pest Management SFI Actions Info

SFI actions to qualify for the Integrated Pest Management SFI Actions

SFI actions for Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

 

The UK Govt/RPA launched a guide for farmers on how to do the SFI actions for integrated pest management (IPM) under the SFI 2024 scheme.  These can be found here.  Once you have read the guidance, you may like to follow this link back to the VI IPM Hub which provides access to the VI IPM Plan templates and the more detailed IPM Tool and other useful information about IPM.

On 11 March 2025, the SFI 2025 Offer was closed.

However, on 7 July 2025 the Sustainable Farming Incentive Expanded Offer for 2024 (SFI 2024) re-opened for applications from certain eligible applicants, and Defra have written to farmers who qualify.  

For all other farmers, SFI remains closed for applications. Please read the Written Ministerial Statement on the UK Parliament website for more information. 

Farmers in existing SFI agreements will continue to be paid under the terms of their agreements.   

The Governments Environmental Land Management schemes will remain in place, including SFI, and there will be a new and improved SFI offer opening for applications in 2026.
