The Farming Innovation Programme is part of Defra’s investment in innovation, research and development.
Defra is partnering with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to fund projects that benefit farmers, growers and foresters in England.
All funding will be awarded through competitions. This means applications for each competition will be judged, and only the successful ones will be funded.
The programme’s aims are to:
- help farmers, growers and foresters increase productivity, sustainability and resilience
- reduce the environmental impact of agriculture and horticulture
- apply agricultural research to provide real benefits for farmers, growers and foresters
- use science to develop solutions for the practical challenges in agriculture and horticulture
To get funding, you must work in collaboration with a team.
Once the competition is open, Innovate UK KTN can help you find the right people to work with (opens in new window) on your project.
