Farming Innovation Programme: Large R&D Partnerships Round 3

The Farming Innovation Programme: Large R&D Partnerships Round 3, part of the UK's Industry-led R&D Partnerships Fund, offers UK registered businesses the opportunity to share £7.8 million in funding for large-scale research and development partnership projects. Opening on 15 January 2024 and closing on 13 March 2024, this competition aims to address significant on-farm or immediate post-farmgate challenges and opportunities. The program focuses on enhancing productivity, sustainability, environmental impact, progression towards net-zero emissions, and resilience in farming. It encourages supply chain businesses to collaborate in solving major challenges, with an emphasis on developing scalable, commercially viable solutions that benefit farmers, growers, or foresters in England, and contribute to transformative changes in the agricultural sector.
