Tender Description

This project aims to map existing land-based citizen science research infrastructure across England, with an additional in-depth focus on initiatives involving farmers in environmental data collection. The objective is to identify opportunities to enhance farmer involvement in citizen science, promoting sustainable agriculture and environmental conservation. A mixed-methods approach is expected to be used, including a comprehensive review, database development, and data analysis.

This research project is closely linked to another research project, namely the "Farmer engagement with environmental data collection project" at https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/bbb3dca9-ad19-4069-b611-3cdc78fa731b which will examine the barriers and challenges farmers face in their engagement with citizen science initiatives in their day-to-day lives.
