Green Shoots offers dedicated support for your Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) Applications. With our expert advice, your farm will be able to implement sustainable practices while taking advantage of the financial benefits that come with it. We will guide you through the application process and ensure that your SFI application is completed efficiently.
Countryside Stewardship provides financial incentives for farmers, foresters and land managers to look after and improve the environment. Green Shoots Farm Consultancy is here to help you navigate entry into the UK CS scheme, from start to finish.
Soil sampling is the process of taking small samples of your soil to determine the nutrient content. The soil can be tested for the chemical, physical and biological properties, which are critical to plant nutrition. This ensures all crop nutrition decisions are accurate, efficient, cost-effective and environmentally responsible.
Creating a soil management plan can help you improve soil health, reduce runoff, soil erosion and flood risks, improve crop yields and grow food more sustainably. Soil management plans are used to set out the steps you’ll take to manage soils, depending on their properties.
Nutrient management planning matches nutrient inputs (fertilisers and organic manures) to crop demand. Successfully managing nutrients can help land managers reduce ammonia and greenhouse gas emissions, improve water quality and increase productivity.
Habitat surveys provide basic ecological information that can be used for biodiversity conservation, planning and management. Depending on the objectives of the particular habitat survey, information on dominant animal or plant species will be gathered and analysed.
