This evaluation will: undertake an assessment of the processes, early-stage impacts, and value for money; appraise the Defra-UKRI partnership; and evaluate efficiency and effectiveness of the existing funds and competitions. This work will give an indication of whether the Farming Innovation Programme is on track to deliver positive environmental, productivity and economic growth outcomes.
