Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) Commercial Market Study

In July 2015 Ministers asked for a review of the CSF project as part of Defra's commitment to Spending Review 2015 (SR15). The aim of the Review is to establish a future advisory service that works flexibly with the agricultural industry to address improvements to the environment: water, air and soils as well as delivering value for money, delivering more or better whilst living within the spending review settlement which will see grant in aid reduce. As part of this there is a need to consider whether the CSF Project could deliver and expand its current service through working more closely with the commercial sector.

Aim - To test commercial revenue streams and other partnership opportunities with private sector companies for resourcing CSF products and services.
