ensure solutions have positive outputs for farmers, growers or foresters in commercially relevant situations
develop new agricultural solutions, by collaboration through engagement with end users and the UK research community in the innovation process
accelerate adoption by ensuring knowledge exchange with the wider sector and other stakeholders

Proposals must be able to demonstrate how the project will benefit farmers, growers or foresters in England.
