The project, which completed in February 2018, investigated the provision of public goods and ecosystem services from agriculture and forestry, aiming to unlock the synergies between economic and environmental benefits for society.
In 2013, CCRI formed part of a Fera Consortium (FC) commissioned by Natural England (NE) to evaluate the effectiveness of Environmental Stewardship for the conservation of historic buildings.
In the autumn of 2014, the CCRI was successful in a bid to undertake a long-term evaluation of a Landscape Partnership in the Forest of Dean, the Foresters' Forest, which was led by Forestry England and funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. The final evaluation was submitted in spring 2022.
In 2014, the CCRI conducted a review of the UK wine market, as part of a wider evaluation of the EU wine sector in order to assess how to improve its current and future competitiveness.
The aim of the case study was to provide insights into the operation, strengths and weaknesses of the agricultural knowledge system in England and Wales.
