Your total project costs need to be between £1m and £5m, and grants will be up to 70% of costs, depending on the size of your organisation.
Projects can focus on one or more of the following themes:
- Soil, Water and Land Resource Management

- Crosscutting Decision Support Tools (improving or low cost scaling)
Projects can be led by an established commercial business of any size and the project team can include other businesses, academic institutions, charities, not-for-profit organisations, public-sector organisations and research organisations.
