Aim of the Competition

The aim is to promote early-stage solutions capable of substantially improving farming productivity, sustainability, resilience, and facilitating the move towards net-zero. The solutions should offer positive outputs for farmers, growers, and foresters in commercially relevant situations and foster collaborations with the wider UK research community.

Your Project Proposal

Your project must present a significant improvement in farming productivity, sustainability, environmental impact, net-zero emissions progression, and resilience. Additionally, it should clearly demonstrate how it will benefit farmers, growers, or foresters in England.

Eligibility Criteria

Projects that do not benefit farmers, growers or foresters in England or are specific to equine, wild-caught fisheries, aquaculture for fish production, cellular expression of proteins, cultivated meat, acellular production systems, or the production of crops or plants for medicinal or pharmaceutical use are ineligible. Furthermore, any projects dependent on export performance or domestic inputs usage will not be considered.

Funding and Support

The total project costs should range between £200,000 and £500,000.
