This project evolved as a farmer-led research initiative to address local evidence gaps identified by farmer partners in Powys wanting to enhance the long-term viability and sustainability of their farms.
This project focused on farmers and farm advisors as key, yet often under researched, actors in the context of efforts to implement landscape solutions to the climate and biodiversity emergencies.
A three-year monitoring project will assess how HLS and CS agreements contribute toward environmental outcomes across multiple scheme objectives.

Since 2012, the CCRI has been involved in an on-going series of themed research projects aimed at supporting the development and implementation of Natural England’s agri-environment schemes.
Funded by the British Academy, this project develops a participatory methodology, climate assemblies, to bring farmers, rural businesses, NGOs and citizens together in two livestock farming communities (in Cumbria and Cornwall) to debate their agri-food futures, identify net zero ambitions and vision solutions in ways that are fair, just and democratic.
