SFI 2023: Expression of Interest in Early Application

Members will be aware that farmers and land managers have been invited to register their interest in applying early for the SFI 2023 as part of the controlled rollout of the scheme. Submitting the Expression of Interest form when invited to do so will enable eligible applicants to access the scheme as it is opened.

The speed of the controlled rollout will then be assessed to prevent backlogs and delays.

Once applicants have registered their interest, they are advised to review the scheme rules and prepare their details in the Rural Payments Service portal, including checking that their land mapping is up to date.
