A new Defra farming blog has just been published.
From today, small groups of farmers in England can apply for a Local Resource Option (LRO) screening study. An LRO is a water resources scheme that improves the resilience or supply of water in a local area. LRO screening studies are one way farmers and growers can better understand their options to improve the supply or resilience of water. In the post, they share the background, explain how the studies work and include links to learn more and apply.Â
