Martin Collison is one of 20 ‘experts’ (farmers, advisors, researchers and policy makers) from across Europe who have been appointed to work with the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability in a new Focus Group to produce a report on the challenges in managing water in agriculture: Water & Agriculture: Adaptive Strategies at Farm Level
The Focus Group is due to start its work in June 2015 and will produce a report in early 2016 which will help to inform future EU investment in agricultural water related applied research and knowledge exchange programmes. The group will specifically focus on how farmers can adapt to water scarcity in the future.
