ADOPT Fund - Apply Now

Round 8 Full ADOPT Grant opened Thursday 4 June and closes 29 July 2026.

ADOPT will support collaborative farmer-led, on-farm trials or experiments to generate, test and demonstrate innovative solutions and practices to farming challenges.

Project outputs will provide knowledge of new approaches which will be shared to the wider sector to provide confidence for others to adopt.

How it works

ADOPT has two different types of grants available depending on the needs of the grant applicant:

• A small Support Grant to access professional assistance from an industry expert to help develop an application to the Full ADOPT Grant . These small Support Grants are intended for applicants who are less familiar with Innovate UK systems. You do not have to apply for a Support Grant in order to apply for a Full Grant.
• A Full ADOPT Grant will support collaborative farmer-led, on farm trials or experiments.
