Expert Support for ADOPT Projects
Are you ready to turn your innovative ideas into real on-farm impact? As the leading provider of farmer-led innovation services – and approved project facilitators for the ADOPT programme – BOFIN is here to support your on-farm research journey.
From navigating the application process to managing project delivery and fostering collaboration, we invite you to work with us and unlock the full potential of your project.
Our offer to you:
Project Management
We work alongside you from the outset, helping to shape your project idea, plan its delivery, and prepare a strong funding application.
Once underway, we manage timelines, deliverables, milestones and budget.
This allows you to focus on advancing the innovation you’re passionate about and achieving the results you want, while also ensuring excellent value for funders.
Community Engagement
Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We specialise in building communities of organisations and individuals with a common cause. Our expertise lies in engaging farmers and fostering two-way knowledge exchange, ensuring their experience is valued and recognised.
We help you develop your project while welcoming others into the exciting journey you have initiated. It’s not just about creating a positive future for your own farm, but about empowering you to lead positive change for like-minded farmers, and bring their expertise into your project.
Technical Delivery
We turn ambitious project objectives into manageable, actionable tasks. With our extensive networks and contacts, we can bring in specialist skills whenever needed to deliver something truly outstanding and transformational. Crucially, we turn your collective expertise into robust data and professional analysis (if required), inspiring confidence and supporting informed decision-making for you and the wider project community.
This provides reassurance that your trial is conducted with integrity and delivers impact beyond your own farm’s boundary.

What is ADOPT?
The Accelerating Development of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) fund is part of Defra’s Farming Innovation Programme which is delivered by Innovate UK.
The ADOPT Facilitator Support Grant of £2,500 is also available for farmers, growers or foresters to engage an external Project Facilitator to support with submissions into the Full ADOPT Grant competitions.
The Full ADOPT Grant supports on-farm trials that test new ideas or solutions to address significant on-farm challenges, with the potential to improve productivity, resilience, and sustainability.
