To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what recent progress he has made in the development of the new Sustainable Farming Incentive scheme.

Defra will be working closely with farmers and industry stakeholders to design a future SFI offer that fairly and responsibly directs funding. This future SFI offer will build on what has made SFI effective so far. Further details about the reformed SFI offer will be announced following the spending review in summer 2025.
