What does it mean to be SFI certified?
Being SFI certified means that a farmland or horticultural land has met the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) standards. It involves implementing specific actions to protect and enhance wildlife, while also ensuring sustainable food production. These actions may include creating pollen and nectar flower mixes, providing winter bird food, or establishing grassy field corners. Certification is evidence that these measures have been taken and are being maintained, qualifying the land for potential payments or grants.
