FUW to host roadshow on SFS support

THE Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW) is set to host a series of 11 roadshow events across Wales to provide farmers and interested parties with information about the new Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS) and the support services available from the Union.

- 

The Sustainable Farming Scheme commences on the 1 January 2026 and marks the most significant change to agricultural policy in Wales in generations.

The FUW has subsequently organised a comprehensive series of events across Wales to ensure farmers are fully equipped to navigate the changes and challenges ahead.

The roadshow, which is open to all farmers and land managers, will focus on providing clear and practical guidance on key aspects of the SFS. This will include an explanation of the new payment structure, the accompanying eligibility and the FUW's expectations of the Scheme.

Presented by the FUW's Policy Team and local County Officers, the events will provide farmers with an opportunity to ask questions about the Scheme, the transition process and the way in which the historic Basic Payment (BPS) will be tapered.

The roadshow will also provide an opportunity for the FUW to outline its own support services to support farmers with the new Scheme.
