Farming with Nature Transition Scheme (Northern Ireland)
Closing Date: 04/08/2025
A grant payment designed to support Northern Ireland farmers and land managers across all land types to make substantial contributions to environmental improvements and sustainability.
The FwN Package forms part of the programme of change being progressed through the DAERA Sustainable Agriculture Programme. It aims to contribute to the delivery of many of DAERA’s strategic environmental outcomes by supporting farmers and land managers to make substantial contributions to environmental improvements and sustainability.
Farming with Nature will be delivered using a phased approach starting with a Farming with Nature Transition Scheme (FwNT) that can incentivise a range of actions with proven valuable environmental impact.
FwNT will provide financial support to farmers to cover the costs of actions, and the capital items needed to implement them, that deliver specific environmental benefits through the delivery of additional habitats, protection of watercourses and provision of green infrastructure for nature corridors.
