Tender Description

The aim of this project is to investigate the extent of farmer participation and engagement in citizen science initiatives and environmental data collecting (or 'monitoring technologies'), including their use of technological tools and data management practices. The benefits of this project include identifying gaps and opportunities for improving farmer involvement in citizen science initiatives, with potential advantaged to promoting their active participation in changing agricultural practices and moving towards more evidence-led decision-making.

This research project is closely linked to another research project, the "Mapping Citizen Science Research Infrastructure involving Farmers" project at https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8046246e-293b-4c25-a313-055027184784 which will map and review all citizen science initiatives which explicitly include farmers, and examine the data being collected, and the technological tools used.
