Demystifying Agri-environmental Schemes
This webinar offers practical, real‑world guidance for Devon farmers navigating the SFI, Countryside Stewardship and capital grant schemes. Hear honest experiences from three local farmers who have completed these processes, including the challenges they faced, what worked on their farms, and the key lessons they wish they’d known earlier.
You’ll also receive up‑to‑date advice from the ND+ Farm Support Services team, covering the latest scheme updates, mapping requirements and the support available to help you plan your next steps.
Designed for both new applicants and existing agreement holders, the session provides a clear explanation of how the schemes work, how they fit into day‑to‑day farming, and what to consider before applying. Attendees will leave with practical insights, the chance to ask questions, and a simple checklist to confidently move forward with agri‑environment applications.
