Our work has also led to the publication of the following strategies and plans in the last 2 years:

• Greater Lincolnshire Agri Food Sector Plan 2014-2020 has been developed to shape LEP and industry investment in the agri-food industry.  Having written this plan we are now assisting with its delivery –  http://www.greaterlincolnshirelep.co.uk/growth/agri-food
• HGCA Growing for the future: An environmental roadmap for the UK cereals and oilseeds industry – Water which we worked alongside HGCA in 2013 to develop.  The roadmap set out the challenges the industry faces on water issues and highlights the work which is already being delivered to manage water resources more effectively http://www.hgca.com/media/5439/LR_HGCA_Water_Roadmap_2013.pdf
