Details
Farmers who enter into an SFI standards agreement must follow the SFI standards agreement terms and conditions.
If you’re applying for an SFI standards agreement now, you must follow the May 2022 version of the SFI standards agreement terms and conditions.
If you have an existing SFI standards agreement, you’ll need to accept the updated SFI standards agreement terms and conditions we published on 31 May 2023. These allow us to:
-
pay you the new SFI management payment
-
temporarily adjust your SFI standards agreement if we identify factors which may temporarily impact your ability to complete the actions in your agreement, such as adverse weather conditions
You’ll accept the updated SFI standards agreement terms and conditions when you submit your annual declaration towards the end of your agreement’s first year. Until then, the existing SFI standards agreement terms and conditions (May 2022 version) will continue to apply to your agreement.
