Farmer Led Innovation

Join us to find out more about the Accelerating Development of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) Fund, part of Defra's Farming Innovation Programme delivered in partnership with Innovate UK.

ADOPT supports farmer-led, collaborative on-farm trials to generate, test and showcase innovative solutions to real-world farming challenges.

Hear first-hand about live projects where farmers and facilitators are turning ideas into practical innovations that make a difference on the ground, and how you can benefit from the ADOPT Support Hub which supports and engages farmers and project facilitators at every stage, from shaping ideas and applications through to supporting projects during delivery. It also leads communication, knowledge exchange, and post project sharing, helping practical on farm innovation reach and benefit the wider farming community.
