On 8 January 2026, Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds announced a package of measures at the Oxford Farming Conference to support British farmers. The package includes reforms to the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI), creating two application windows in 2026 – a first from June that prioritises smaller farms and those without existing agreements, and a second in September for broader applications. The government will publish full scheme details before the first window opens. Additionally, a £30 million Farmer Collaboration Fund will help farmer groups grow businesses and share best practice. Reynolds also outlined plans to transform England’s uplands, launch new income streams, and extend the Farming in Protected Landscapes programme for three years with further £30 million funding next year.
