DEFRA is hosting a series of free local events in June 2026, giving farmers across England the latest policy updates, including the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI). Find your nearest event below and register your place.
These one-hour sessions are an excellent opportunity to hear directly from DEFRA representatives, ask questions, and get up to speed on what the latest changes mean for your farm business.
