To develop the Farmer Collaboration Fund Defra has considered the impact of different delivery models, including a range of potential collaboration group sizes. Experience from the rollout of previous schemes such as the Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Fund has contributed towards our expectations. The exact number of farmers supported across the three years will depend on a variety of factors, particularly the nature and scale of bids received from prospective delivery partners. We will use information from round one of the fund to refine our models over time.

The Farmer Collaboration Fund is designed to be flexible and accessible by a wide range of farmers, including small family farms. The FCF will provide funding to delivery partners whose bids will be partly assessed on their ability to reach out and engage with farm businesses of various sizes and ownership and them access opportunities for collaboration.

The Government will measure success by looking at the practical changes farmers make as a result of being part of collaboration groups. That includes actions which strengthen their businesses, as well as delivering benefits for the environment, food production, and animal health and welfare. An external monitoring and evaluation organisation will coordinate annual surveys of participating farmers to assess the impact the fund has had on their business. Grant recipients will also submit annual reports describing their successes and areas for improvement.

Defra has considered a range of anticipated benefits of the Farmer Collaboration Fund, based on evidence about the economic impact of adopting new business practices following engagement with peers and advisers. The department focussed on reviewing evidence-based best practices recommended by industry experts including AHDB. The fund will also have a direct benefit by giving farmers access to Defra funded facilitators and expert advisers. The magnitude of benefits will depend on farm business circumstances, size and type. We expect all participating farms to benefit from the sharing of information and best practices between peers.
