answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>In the last 12 months data shows that the proportion of all applications to the Sustainable Farming Incentive by the applicant's holding where they focused on uses other than food production is shown in the table below (this includes land that was not in food production previously and regardless to the status of the application).</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Not in Food Production</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Proportion Applications</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Between 25% and 50%</p></td><td><p>0.24%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Between 50% and 75%</p></td><td><p>0.64%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Greater than 75%</p></td><td><p>3.79%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>On the 26 March we introduced a “25% of your holding limit” on 6 SFI actions, these 6 were actions that were designed to operate in tandem with food production – rather than instead of. The 25% limit still provides farmers with the flexibility to incorporate SFI actions into their farming systems and rotations. The majority of the SFI actions are not limited and enable farmers to produce food sustainably. Very few farmers were putting over 25% of their land into these non-food producing actions, however, we decided to act promptly before this became an issue. Industry and stakeholders worked with us on this – and welcomed the move.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Sir Mark Spencer question first answered 15/05/2024 15:44:36 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
