Agri-Tech Industrial Strategy: Evaluation Scoping Study and Baseline

The UK Strategy for Agriculture Technologies (The ‘Strategy’) was published in 2013 and has a clear and ambitious vision: “We want the UK to become a world leader in agricultural technology, innovation and sustainability; exploit opportunities to develop and adopt new and existing technologies, products and services to increase productivity; and contribute to global food security and international development”.

This evaluation scoping study and baseline had two main objectives:

  • Estimate the current size of the Agri-Tech sector and make projections for the sector based on its current structure and global trends up to the 2030. The purpose of the projections is to provide an informed view of how the sector might develop without the Strategy
  • Make recommendations for how the Strategy should be monitored and evaluated.
