Description
This grant supports active farming, growing, or forestry businesses in England by providing £2,500 to engage an external Project Facilitator. The facilitator assists in developing and submitting a comprehensive application for the Full ADOPT Grant, which funds on-farm trials or experiments aimed at improving productivity, resilience, or sustainability in agriculture, horticulture, or agro-forestry. The scheme is designed to enhance the quality of ADOPT applications and broaden access to innovation funding for practitioners less familiar with such processes.
