It will support those who are seeking to improve productivity, through breeding, planting, cultivating and harvesting.
The programme forms part of the BEIS £1 billion Net Zero Innovation Portfolio, which aims to accelerate the commercialisation of innovative clean energy technologies and processes through the 2020s and 2030s.
The competition iswas split into 2 phases:
Phase 2: Demonstration (closed)(closed 14 February 2022)
Read details of the successful Phase 2 projects.
Phase 2 builds on Phase 1, providing £26 million in funding to take projects from the innovation design stage through to the innovation demonstration.
This means that the Phase 2 competition was open only to applications from the projects that were supported under Phase 1.
Phase 2 closed to applications on 14 February 2022.
