InFaba was picked up by AgTechNavigator in February as part of its coverage of a £1.34m Defra Farming Innovation Programme tranche. The piece groups 15 low-emission farming and precision breeding projects, with InFaba named as a recipient.
The article describes the project as developing UK-grown faba bean feed ingredients to cut dairy methane and replace imported soy, with commercial trials testing performance, cost-effectiveness and practical implementation.
AgTechNavigator's £1.34m figure refers to a specific sub-tranche, separate from the wider £21.5m Farming Innovation Programme announcement under which the £1.49m InFaba award sits. The piece points at over two million tonnes CO₂e in potential annual emissions reductions from soya displacement and methane reduction combined, a higher figure than the 1.6 MtCO₂e cited in the consortium's own materials.
The story was re-aggregated by IndexBox with no original reporting added.
