Farming and Forestry Improvement Scheme (FFIS)

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.

Round 2 of the Farming and Forestry Improvement Scheme has now closed.

We are very sorry that we have not yet been able to complete the appraisal of all the FFIS Round 2 projects. As you may know we received a very high number of applications under the 2nd round of FFIS. This, combined with other competing work pressures at this time from other schemes delivered by the RDT, has meant that not all the FFIS appraisals have been completed by the end of October 2012. We are hoping to be able to inform you of the outcome of your application within the next few weeks. If your project is time critical and it is vital that it starts in the next few weeks please can you let us know. Once again we apologise for the delay.
