[QUOTE="steveR, post: 8064526, member: 66976"] It can only work.... such as it ever will, if the applicant can double or treble up the options on a given parcel of land. However, it looks as if DEFRA have rowed back on what was said a few months ago about "dual" funding from Private sources and SFI.... [USER=153068]@Janet Hughes Defra[/USER] can I ask just what this statement actually means?? [I]You cannot enter land into an SFI standards agreement if you are receiving funding from another source to do[B] similar environmental land management actions[/B] on that land.[/I] What is actually meant by this? What does it mean by "similiar"? I have many hectares growing effectively, conservation type mixtures. These can be sown in the Winter or Spring, to suit my needs and more importantly, my varying soil types. This is to meet a number of requirements that can include, biodiversity, water protection and resilience etc etc. ------------------------------------------------ [HEADING=1]Private sector schemes[/HEADING] In 2022, you can enter the same area of land into an SFI standards agreement and a private sector scheme arrangement, such as carbon trading or payments for natural flood management. This is only possible if you are not being paid twice for similar environmental land management actions legally required in your SFI standards agreement and the private sector scheme. You also need to meet the rules and requirements of the private sector scheme, including: [LIST] [*]whether the environmental outcome is additional to what you’re delivering in the SFI standards agreement (‘additionality’) [*]verification of the environmental outcomes [/LIST] The approach to private sector schemes will be reviewed by Defra annually. [HEADING=1]Other funding sources[/HEADING] You cannot enter land into an SFI standards agreement if you are receiving funding from another source to do similar environmental land management actions on that land. This includes funding received from: [LIST] [*]local authorities [*]National Park Authorities or AONB grant schemes, apart from Farming in Protected Landscapes [*]the Highways Agency [*]the National Lottery [*]a crown body, such as the Duchy of Cornwall [*]energy and water companies [/LIST] Published 30 March 2022 [/QUOTE]
