Details of the funding structure of the North Wyke Farm Platform, including any information you hold regarding funding received by North Wyke Farm Platform from CIEL, Rothamsted or any other industry-led or public-private group over the last 5 years.
Details of the composition of any private or industrial members of any 'review panel' for research conducted or proposed to be conducted by North Wyke Farm Platform (e.g. many institutions have a panel that helps to review and decide what research should be approved or put forward for further consideration, and many of these panels contain industrial members. As a major funder of the Platform it seems like that UKRI/BBSRC would hold this information).
