Agri-tech businesses, farmers, growers and researchers can now apply for a share of £12.5m for developing cutting-edge innovation in automation and robotics.
This competition will specifically target agriculture and horticultural production.
This is the third in our thematic series of funding competitions within the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs’ (Defra) Farming Innovation Programme, building on climate smart farming and sustainable farm-based proteins.
In these competitions, Defra sets a theme for the projects to address those longer-term challenges of strategic importance for the farming sector.
