Projects
Alongside the LUNZ Hub, UKRI is funding five separate transdisciplinary research consortia outlined below, that will work to 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 health and carbon dynamics; agricultural systems; 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 following teams to disseminate and integrate the research they produce.
