accelerate development of effective new agricultural solutions by working with end-users and collaborating with the wider UK research community in the innovation process
Your proposal must be able to demonstrate how the project will benefit farmers, growers or foresters in England.
In applying to this competition, you are entering into a competitive process. This competition closes at 11am UK time on the deadline stated.
