Scottish Government launch consultation on the draft strategy for environment, natural resources and agriculture research 2022 to 2027

The Scottish Government funds a portfolio of research on the environment, natural resources and agriculture, and are currently developing a strategy for the next cycle of research, beginning in 2022, which will outline the vision, priorities and mechanisms for funding that research.

A consultation has been launched  to allow views on the priorities for future research to be shared, and asks for comment around the themes of: 

• plant and animal health 
• sustainable food system and supply 
• human impacts on the environment 
• natural resources 
• rural futures

The consultation is open until 14 December 2020 and can be completed online.
