About

Devon County Council awarded a contract to University Of Exeter for research to explore how to improve economic and environmental resilience within the County Farms Estate (CFE) and maximise future opportunities from changes in the food and farming sector.

The research will examine adoption of regenerative and innovative practices, agri-tech, knowledge sharing, diversification including horticulture, and alternative routes to market.

It builds on previous learning from the Future Farming Resilience Programme, Devon Agri-Tech Alliance, Devon Farm Innovation Toolkit and Carbon toolkit, and the Agri Innovation Pilot.

The study will identify opportunities and challenges for CFE land and livestock management to increase climate resilience, improve profitability and productivity, and demonstrate best practices aligned with DCC policies such as the Growth Strategy, Devon Carbon Plan, and Local Nature Recovery Strategy.

The contract value is £40,000.
