research led by the University of Sheffield in
collaboration with the University of Reading, carried out in 2020 & 2021.
The research focused on engaging ‘harder to
reach’ (HTR) farmers in policy design and
delivery. It outlines the role of skilled
intermediaries in supporting farmers
throughout the post-Brexit agricultural
transition, as well as the impacts of the
COVID-19 pandemic on farmer engagement. Initial research involved a quick scoping review, 23 expert interviews and a workshop that brought together farm advisers who were engaged with HTR farmers (see Lyon et al., 2020; Hurley et al., 2020). The research design for the current project involved an analysis of the original data and a series of 24 new semi-structured expert interviews. Thus, two sets of interviews make up the evidence base of this research project.
