The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) Handbook for the SFI 2023 offer includes the scheme information for SFI agreements containing the environmental land management actions in the SFI 2023 offer.

If you already have an SFI standards agreement containing the 3 existing SFI standards for soils and moorland we introduced in June 2022 (the SFI 2022 standards), read the guidance for existing SFI 2022 standards agreement holders. These SFI 2022 standards will be replaced by the new SFI actions for soils and moorland from summer 2023.
