Backed by the UK Agri-Tech Centre and delivered in partnership with the Carbon Trust, FASTA provides expert-led support to accelerate your impact and business growth. 

Why agriculture needs scalable agri-tech solutions

Accelerating the pathway to Net Zero and improving sustainability across UK agriculture requires robust, scalable solutions that can support producers, supply chains and the wider sector through environmental and economic transition.

Despite progress, critical barriers remain:

  • Limited access to accurate, interoperable MRV tools
  • Difficulty verifying sustainability claims and ensuring transparency
  • Barriers to unlocking sustainable finance

 

FASTA is designed to break down these barriers and empower innovators to scale solutions that transform UK agriculture.
