ADOPT Facilitator Support Grant: Round 7
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) will invest up to £100,000 to support the development of applications for on-farm trials and farm experiment projects.
This funding is part of Defra’s Farming Innovation Programme, delivered in partnership with Innovate UK.
This competition is designed for farmers, growers and foresters based in England who are keen to test and trial new ideas or solutions on-farm and require support to develop a Full ADOPT Grant application.
The aim of this competition is to:
- provide a £2,500 grant for a farmer, grower or forester based in England to engage an external Project Facilitator to support with submissions into the Full ADOPT Grant competitions
- improve the quality of Full ADOPT Grant applications
- make ADOPT funding accessible to a wider range of applicants
- enhance the skills and expertise of the farming eco-system to engage with innovation funding
Support Grant (up to £2,500): These help applicants explore their idea and work with a project facilitator to shape a strong proposal.
