A new round of capital grants for farmers opened on 3rd July 2025.

There are 78 items available through the Capital Grant offer in six categories:  

  • Air quality
  • Assessments 
  • Boundaries, trees and orchards 
  • Natural flood management 
  • Improvements 
  • Water quality 

Farms can apply for items in any of these groups. However, there are funding limits for four groups: 

  • £25,000 for each of: water quality, air quality and natural flood management 
  • £35,000 for boundaries, trees and orchards 

Each application can include items from these groups up to the relevant limit, as well as additional items from the assessments and improvements groups. 

You can apply at any time during the year.  However, DEFRA will only accept one successful application per Single Business Identifier (SBI) per calendar year. 

Funding limits have been introduced as they should help more farmers access support and allow DEFRA to manage the offer sustainably while delivering environmental benefits.
