To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how funding from the farming innovation programme will be allocated among different agri-technology research and development projects.
Daniel Zeichner
The Minister of State, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
Applicants to the Farming Innovation Programme are assessed by the Programme’s delivery partner, Innovate UK, on how they address a particular challenge identified by industry (for industry-led partnership competitions) or by Defra (for thematic competitions) following submission of their application. We seek a balanced portfolio approach, which means that funding can be allocated in a way to benefit all farming sectors, while projects are assessed on their individual merit.
