The Accelerating Development of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) Fund is designed to support farmer-led, collaborative innovation projects that implement new technologies and practices on farms. Guidance is now available, and you'll be able to apply for funding on 28 April.
The Farming Innovation Programme provides research and development funding to farmers and growers who want to develop and use new, innovative methods and technologies. The aim of the fund is to support farmers to become more productive, environmentally sustainable and resilient to the global food security challenges of the future. You might remember that alongside UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) we launched the first rounds of funding in October, and 2 more in March. In this post, I’ll share information about our latest funding opportunity: the Research Starter Projects Competition.
From today, Wednesday 30 March, you can apply for a share of £20.5 million funding in 2 new competitions in the Farming Innovation Programme in partnership with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
On 10 May, we’ll be at the Nottinghamshire County Show in Newark. Come and say hello to our team.
You can also find us at these agricultural shows and conferences in 2025.
