Funded Projects

FARMING NEEDS THE SUPPORT of an independent research sector. At present, one of the best placed organisations to fund research in this field is TMAF. The Foundation manages assets which generate income. This resource is available to promote agriculture through a range of educational and research projects. Individuals and organisations are invited to apply for consideration for funding to undertake studies or training in a wide range of arable crop projects relevant to the needs of farming in the East of England.
