Forest Research, the research agency of the Forestry Commission, aims to provide research services relevant to UK and international forestry interests to inform and support forestry’s contribution to UK governmental policies.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) aims to support and develop British farming and encourage sustainable food production; help to enhance the environment and biodiversity to improve quality of life; and support a strong and sustainable green economy, resilient to climate change.
