Which farming scheme fits my business?

Land type, tenancy and farm system drive the answer more than scheme branding.

Defra's post-CAP framework spans SFI (ongoing actions), Countryside Stewardship (higher-tier environmental agreements), FETF (capital equipment), FiPL (protected landscapes) and FIP (innovation). Most working farms use a stack of these; a land agent or FAS-style adviser earns their fee here.
