Agricultural Innovation Award
A new idea that changed how the farm works.
About this category
This award recognises a farmer, grower or agricultural business that has introduced a new product, process or way of working that improves farming. Judges look for originality, evidence that it works and its potential to help others.

- Growers and agricultural businesses
Judging criteria
- Originality
- Evidence of results
- Practicality
- Potential to spread
- Benefit to farming
Qualitative criteria
An idea proven in real fields and sheds.
Metrics

Additional criteria
Entries should include a short account of the farm or business, supporting figures such as yields, herd or flock performance, costs or margins where relevant, and, where possible, comments from customers, buyers, advisers or neighbours. Figures can be given as ranges or percentages and nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size, type and location of the farm, so a small upland holding competes on equal terms with a large lowland estate.
