Projects

Alongside the LUNZ Hub, UKRI is funding up to five separate transdisciplinary research consortia to develop projects that will build the UK’s capacity and capability for transforming land use in the pursuit of net zero while meeting other environmental and societal goals.

These projects will inform policy on the same three themes as the LUNZ Hub: soil system health and carbon dynamics; reducing agricultural emissions; and land use change. A total of £14 million has been made available for these projects with each one allocated up to £4.5million. The LUNZ Hub will work closely with the successful teams to disseminate and integrate the research that comes out of them.

Winning submissions are due to be announced after the general election, and work on the research will start immediately- check back here for announcements in the coming weeks.
