How will agri-tech innovation be impacted by the proposed changes by the UK Government to the R&D Tax credit scheme? Alexis Marz, CTA, ta expert and co-founder of our member MMP Tax Limited has written a great piece about it.  

From April 2023 it's all change for innovative companies - and SMEs will be particularly affected.

Are you one of these businesses? How are you preparing for the change? 

We'd love to hear your views.

How can we scale regenerative farming? Belinda argues that cost sharing across the value chain would overcome some of the roadblocks as the short-term economic case is not compelling enough for the average farmer to go it alone.

A recent report from the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) Task Force suggests a tripling of land under a more regenerative approach is needed (up to around 40% of cropped land globally) to reach the climate goals by 2050 and mitigate the predicted 1.5°C rise in the Earth’s temperature.

Belinda reviews the mindset, money and markets, and how to harness them to influence a more regenerative approach to food production.
