  1. The Oxford Farming Conference Research in association with Volac and BBSRC: Agricultural research needs and priorities: survey findings from the food and farming industry Facilitator Professor David Leaver

  2. Introduction • The Oxford Farming Conference, in association with dairy nutrition company Volac and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, has commissioned leading market research specialists National Farm Research Unit and IGD to gather the views of UK farmers and the UK food industry on the future needs of agricultural science. • The following are the results of the NFRU farmer science survey

  3. Annual UK spending on agricultural science R&D *Potential total for 2010 - £280 million (Based on previous spending plus £16M from Technology Strategy Board)

  4. Annual UK spending on agricultural science R&D Overall estimated total on agricultural science R&D for 2010 £365 million (based on previous spending plus Technology Strategy Board funding)
