The funding is to provide resilience support to farmers and land managers in England to help them prepare for the Agricultural Transition period (2021 to 2027). The Interim Phase will take place from 18th August 2021 to 1st March 2022.
Information about Defra's Future Farming Resilience Fund can be found here https://defrafarming.blog.gov.uk/2021/03/25/the-future-farming-resilience-fund-supporting-farmers-through-transition/
Defra's key objective for the grant funding is:
To provide resilience support to farmers and land managers to help them prepare for, and adjust to, the Agricultural Transition by addressing the opportunities it presents and the impacts it could have. The project will also monitor the impact and value for money of this resilience support.
Defra aims for the project to deliver direct benefits to the farmers and land managers who are the beneficiaries of this project by enabling them to:
i. Fully understand the changes that are about to happen
ii. Identify how, where and when they may need to adapt their business model and resilience as a result
iii. Access tailored support to address these changes in a timely fashion
