Feasibility Studies Round 4
If you have a new farming product or service that could improve farming methods, help the environment, and you may want to find out about funding available to explore its potential, this webinar is for you.
What is the funding for?
The funding is for collaborative feasibility studies investigating the potential of new farming solutions. Projects can be up to two years in length, with total project costs between £200,000 to £500,000.
Where does the funding originate from?
This funding is from Defra’s Farming Innovation Programme and is being delivered in partnership with UKRI (UK Research and Innovation).
The programme is all about supporting farmers, growers, businesses, and researchers to get involved in collaborative research and development. Projects should help solve challenges and exploit opportunities to increase productivity and environmental sustainability in the agricultural and horticultural sectors in England. This does not exclude organisations from other parts of the UK joining projects as partners or subcontractors – please check the full funding eligibility and scope details.
