4 Environment and Energy opportunities

Defra is responsible for improving and protecting the environment. The Authority aims to grow a green economy and sustain thriving rural communities. We also support our world-leading food, farming and fishing industries. Please visit About us - Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs - GOV for further information.UK ( www.gov.uk ) Defra requires a Contractor to provide an Impact, Process, and Value for Money evaluation of the Food Data Transparency Partnership (FDTP). The project is planned to commence in spring 2023 and last until January 2028. The key objective of the FDTP is to transform the impact the food system has on health, environmental and animal welfare outcomes by: • Creating the right incentives for industry to sell and promote healthier food produced to higher animal welfare and environmental standards. • Allowing consumers to make better-informed purchasing decisions based on clear, standardised, and trusted information • Supporting...

Recreational sea fishing (RSF) is a high participation activity in the UK. Recent studies identify the activity as having a substantial economic impact and social benefits to those participating. However, the difficulty in quantifying these impacts and bringing them together means they are less well communicated and understood, hampering the ability to develop marine recreational fishing (MRF) as a sector, which is a key goal of the Fisheries Act 2020. Previous work by the Angling Trust, the recognised governing body for all recreational angling disciplines in England & Wales and Defra and Cefas has brought together some of the social and economic benefits of participating in and funding RSF. However, an analytical method of quantifying these benefits developed independently of industry and government is required. This methodology and its results will be used to inform future policy decisions.   Part 1: A systematic review of existing research to quantify sporting...

WWF Cymru is seeking to build on a recently completed assessment of the biophysical capacity of food production in Wales to transition to a fully agroecological net zero pathway by 2050. This work consisted of formulating a computer model that projected the likely impact of a full agroecological shift on existing food production, the resultant impact on territorial and total greenhouse gas emissions/sequestration, and the potential to diversify production to better reflect Welsh nutritional needs. To further develop these results, WWF Cymru wishes to refine a series of scenarios (examples provided below) to allow the model to be rerun and undertake a wider economic & social/cultural analysis of the results. The aim of this work is to produce a series of assessed transition pathways that show both the likely impact on food production, carbon emissions/sequestration, and the obtainment of dietary needs; and the likely impact they would have if pursued on the rural Welsh...
