The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) is evolving quickly. With increasing inspections and tighter compliance demands, the pressure on farmers and their advisors is mounting. For land agents managing multiple holdings, the challenge is even greater, how do you keep track of complex evidence, deadlines, and varying requirements without drowning in paperwork?
The truth is clear: the future of SFI compliance demands a digital audit trail, and land agents are best placed to lead this change.
Why SFI Compliance is Becoming More Complex
SFI started as a promising step towards sustainable farming, but the rules are shifting season after season. New actions, updated record-keeping standards, and increased inspections mean that relying on spreadsheets or paper notes just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Land agents, with their broad oversight of multiple farms, face the risk of missing critical deadlines or incomplete evidence across their portfolios, putting both their reputation and clients’ funding at risk.
The Role of Land Agents in Leading Compliance Change
Land agents are trusted advisors. Clients expect you not only to keep on top of evolving regulations but to proactively guide them through the complexity. This means adopting tools that help you:
- Centralize compliance records from all your holdings
- Monitor deadlines and action requirements in real time
- Generate inspection-ready reports with minimal effort
- Provide clients with transparent, reliable evidence that protects their payments
Leading this change will position your agency as indispensable in a fast-changing funding environment.
