The FFIS is part of the Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) and is a scheme of support, developed to help farming, forestry and horticultural businesses in England to become more efficient at using resources. This scheme aims to help make your business more profitable and resilient whilst reducing the impact of farming on the environment.
The first round of the FFIS has now closed. A second round is expected to open in late April/May 2012.
We received over 1000 applications in the first round so the RDPE delivery teams are extremely busy at the moment. They will acknowledge all applications and process them as quickly as they can so please avoid phoning them if possible as this will delay the response time even further. If you have concerns about whether your application was received it would be better to email your query. Emails addresses for the RDPE delivery team can be found here.
The projects directory holds records of all types of projects related to all regions. Submit your project to the directory and find other similar projects in your area.
Join in the community forums and discuss any aspects of Rural Development in England with fellow members. Start your own topic or search others.
