EFS Schemes — OpenDataNI

The Environmental Farming Scheme (EFS) is a voluntary agri-environment scheme that supports farmers and land managers to carry out environmentally beneficial farming practices on agricultural land. The aims of the scheme are to: restore, preserve and enhance biodiversity; improve water management and water quality; reduce soil erosion and improve soil management; foster carbon conservation and sequestration in agriculture; and reduce greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions from agriculture. EFS is made up of three levels - Wider, Higher and Group: EFS Wider level aims to deliver benefits across the countryside outside environmentally designated sites. EFS Higher level provides site specific plans for strategically important designated sites and for priority habitats and species. EFS Group level provides support for co-operative work in specific areas for farmers in EFS Wider or Higher. This Publisher: OpenDataNI (via data.gov.uk).
