Making Countryside Stewardship and SFI Grants Work for You

The Problem We have tried to Solve

Navigating the 350+ grants available under Countryside Stewardship (CS) and the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) can feel overwhelming. Reading through them all would take over 30 hours (@ 5 mins each)— and that’s before working out which ones suit your farm best.

That’s where we come in.

We’ve created a smarter, faster way to help you identify and access the grants that could transform your farm. As our drone can fly fast, at its maximum 120m altitude its our least time consuming survey.

How It Works

Our AI-powered system, paired with cutting-edge drone technology, simplifies the process of finding grants tailored to your farm's unique characteristics.

Step 1: Understand Your Farm's Features

Most grants depend on specific features of your land — fields, hedgerows, woodlands, wetlands, gates, and ponds, to name a few. Using drone imagery, we automatically map and categorise these features. This allows us to quickly eliminate grants that don’t apply. For instance, a wetland grant would obviously be irrelevant if your land doesn’t have any wetlands.

Step 2: Measure and Estimate Grant Potential

Once we’ve identified your farm’s features, we take it a step further:

Quantify features: e.g., "Your woodland spans 32,000 m² and includes around 500 trees."
Estimate grant potential: We show you what each grant could be worth to your business.
This means you can focus your efforts on the most rewarding opportunities.

Step 3: Learn from Other Farmers

We don’t just rely on technology — we learn from real farmers. Analysing grant data from 2024, we uncover trends and patterns in grant applications. This "wisdom of the crowd," combined with grant uptake data from DEFRA, helps us identify not only suitable grants but also those with the greatest potential for profitability. This is Farmers wisdom, so we have made our analysis open source (below), we hope its informative!

Our method makes it simple, clear, and effective. Let us take the hard work out of finding the right grants for you.
