A 2025 guide to agricultural grants in the UK, covering SFI, Countryside Stewardship, EWCO, and more, with funding for hedgerows, species-rich meadows, woodland creation, and farm modernisation—plus how landowners can maximise financial support with the right applications.
Farming and land management might have a long history, but funding them in 2025 requires a modern strategy. With the right agricultural grants, landowners can cut costs, improve productivity, and even generate income from environmental projects—but finding the right scheme can feel like looking for a needle in a very bureaucratic haystack.
The good news? There’s money on the table for everything from hedgerow planting and soil regeneration to rotational grazing and agroforestry—you just need to know where to find it.
This guide breaks down the most valuable agricultural grants in the UK, how to apply, and how to make sure you don’t miss out.
Gone are the days when farming was just about growing crops and raising livestock. Today, landowners are being incentivised to manage their land for biodiversity, carbon storage, and water management, all while keeping food production at the heart of the business.
Grants in 2025 focus on three major areas:
With input costs rising and environmental policies evolving, these grants aren’t just extra cash—they’re essential tools for running a resilient, profitable estate.
SFI pays landowners for sustainable land management, meaning you could be rewarded for low-input farming you’re already doing.
💡 Why apply? If you’re already managing land in a way that reduces chemical use and improves soil health, this puts money in your pocket for it.
Countryside Stewardship offers capital grants for habitat creation and annual payments for managing environmental features.
💡 Why apply? If you need infrastructure or biodiversity funding, this covers everything from fences to flower fields.
Tree planting isn’t just good for the planet—it’s also well-funded.
💡 Why apply? If you’ve got land that struggles with crops but could thrive with trees, this funds the transition.
Farm machinery isn’t getting any cheaper, and this grant helps cover the cost of high-tech upgrades.
Why apply? If you need modern equipment but not the hefty price tag, this grant bridges the gap.
With developers now legally required to offset biodiversity losses, landowners can sell biodiversity credits for habitat restoration.
Why apply? Unlike most grants, BNG provides annual income for decades, not just a one-off payment.
Applying for funding doesn’t have to be painful. A few key steps can make the process smoother:
You could spend hours digging through government websites, deciphering eligibility rules, and guessing which scheme fits your land best.
Or, you could let AskGrant do the work for you.
