About CHAP
CHAP, a UK Agri-Tech Centre funded by Innovate UK, brings together leading scientists, farmers, advisors, innovators and businesses to understand industry challenges, drive research and innovation and develop and trial solutions that transform crop systems. We work with partners to translate and promote these solutions for market adoption and improved crop productivity. Our mandate is to increase crop productivity for future generations through the uptake of new technologies.
The Innovate UK Agri-Tech Innovation Centres
The four Centres for Agricultural Innovation are a collaborative model between the agri-tech sector and government.
The centres will help the UK:
- turn agricultural innovation into commercial opportunities for UK businesses
- encourage inward investment
- improve farming practice
The centres will:
- improve the economic performance of UK farming through the development and uptake of technologies, knowledge, and practices
- recreate UK leadership in this area by joining-up existing excellence
- resolve challenges that no one part of the sector can address alone
- open up opportunities for transformational change in the sector not possible in current structures
