Brief Description of the requirement:

Aims

This study aims to identify current evidence in the land use and agricultural sectors, and evidence gaps in order to frame and develop a much larger programme of research. Furthermore, it will set out the available options to achieve net zero (or better) in agriculture and land use within the constraints of government's legal requirements, policy ambitions and aspirations. It aims to assess the implications of these potential solutions to identify which pathways are most acceptable to policy and public. The study should be undertaken and presented at UK scale.

The outputs of the scoping study will inform the development of a much larger, multi-annual cross Defra/BEIS research platform to further develop evidence in this space via targeted primary research, and the development of new data sets, tools and integrated models. This project will be separately tendered in lieu of the results of the present study.
