The June edition of the Wight Rural Hub newsletter is now available, bringing together the latest funding, policy and event updates for Isle of Wight farmers, land managers and rural businesses.

This month’s newsletter arrives at a significant time for the farming sector, with Defra recently publishing details of SFI26* and new Capital Grants 2026 guidance. We highlight what is currently known and signpost where to find further information as schemes continue to develop.

Our featured article comes from Isle of Wight National Landscape and focuses on the opportunities available through the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) programme. The article explores how FiPL funding can support projects that deliver environmental, climate, people and place outcomes within the National Landscape.

You’ll also find details of upcoming events, training opportunities, industry news and updates from organisations working to support the Island’s farming and rural communities.

We hope you find this edition useful and informative.
