The England catchment Sensitive Farming Delivery Initiative (ECSFDI) is based on a catchment-specific approach.

This includes the prioritisation of catchments affected by diffuse water pollution from agriculture, the appointment of a network of dedicated Catchment Sensitive Farming Officers each assigned to a specific priority catchment, and the establishment of Catchment Steering Groups.

In addition, the ECSFDI is also supporting a range of projects in a number of additional catchments, as Associate CSF projects, to promote catchment sensitive farming more widely with farmers and land managers.
