Innovate UK's: 'Farming Innovation Programme'- What money is available to me?

[Karen McFadden]

Did you know that Innovate UK have set aside £millions this summer to help businesses improve 'life on the farm'?

And you may be eligible to apply.

Their upcoming pots are here:

1. Farming Futures R&D – Net Zero Farming/nutrient management (suited for companies who are invested in long term innovation)
2. Farming Innovation Programme: Accelerating Development of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) (Summer 2024) ( looking to accelerate the adoption of new technologies on the farm. Funding early stage testing/experimentation for farmers. Massive budget for this- £45m up to 2028/2029
3. Farming Innovation Programme – Small R&D Partnerships (general R&D projects- across all farming aspects. The last competition was between £1-£3m of project costs)
4. Farming Innovation Programme – Feasibility Studies (early stage tech solutions for the farm and net zero farming)

If your farming interests are around innovation, science, technology, improving farm life in any regard (from animal health to crop growth) I can help you understand if grants is something to consider.
