Project details

The objectives of the current proposal are;

  1. to quantify current rates of adoption of DARD and AgriSearch-funded sheep research and 
  2. to identify the key factors influencing adoption rate.

This will provide crucial information to underpin future research and technology transfer programmes, and will enable an accurate determination of the monetary and non-monetary returns from DARD- and AgriSearch-funded programmes
