The application period for Tranche 3 of the Environmental Farming Scheme (EFS) Wider closes on 20 September 2019.

The scheme provides grant aid to carry out environmental works on your farm that will help to enhance biodiversity, improve water quality and offset climate change.

Given this wide range of options to choose from, it is important to take time to plan your application. Before you apply you will need to think carefully, and decide which options will best suit your farm and where they will be sited. The application system will help to guide your final selection.

How to apply

EFS is an online application so you must have access to your DAERA Online Services account or use an agent who can represent your business online.

Comprehensive information on all the EFS options and the application process is available online through the EFS section of the DAERA website.
