GRANTS FOR INNOVATION, EQUIPMENT & TECHNOLOGY

Steve Reed announced £110 million for innovation, equipment and technology grants.  This will include another round of the Farming Equipment and Technology Fund (FETF) in “the spring” and a new Farming Innovation Programme (FIP) including competitions to unlock the benefits of precision breeding and supporting the transition to Net Zero.  There will also be a new ADOPT fund for “farmer-led trials that bridge the gap between new technologies and their real-world application, giving farmers the confidence investments in tech will deliver the returns they need”.  Find out more at: Coming soon: grants for equipment, technology and innovation – Farming.
