SFI and CSS - meeting your farm client mandatory evidence keeping requirements
The Farm Economics App enables farms to keep track of what mandatory Countryside Stewardship (CSS) tasks need to have records and what Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) actions need evidence. There are a couple of features that are particularly useful for Farm Agents:
Agent Dashboard for all your farms
Automatic photo upload onto interactive map
Agent Dashboard for all your farms
The App is used by a growing number of individual farms, and now a number of farm agents are using it to both keep farm records organised and also to get a real-time view as to the status of record keeping compliance for each farm agreement. See a summary of the Agent view of farms in the video below.
Automatic photo upload onto interactive map
So many farms and agents we talk with are starting to drown in photos taken as part of the required evidence gathering for both SFI actions and CSS options. Whilst the 'evidence keeping' requirements in general are less stringent than many CSS options, there remains evidence to keep in order to reasonably ensure the aims of the actions are being met.
Provided you have your GPS settings on, we can now automatically extract the location information from the photo and place it on an interactive map as well as in the complete evidence report. See a short summary video below.
