Sustainable food and farming How should policies be designed and schemes implemented to help the food and farming sector preserve and enhance the natural environment, while meeting other priorities such as the commitment to net zero emissions of greenhouse gases? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Water How do we effectively monitor and assess the impact of emerging threats on water quality and ecology (for example plastics, antimicrobial resistance, neonicotinoid pesticides, nanoparticles, pharmaceuticals, invasive species, and chemicals) to inform risk-based decision making? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Water What are the actions that will have the biggest impact on restoring freshwater habitats as far as possible to more naturally functioning ecosystems? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Taking a natural capital approach How do we incorporate the full spectrum of natural capital and the value of the benefits it provides into policy development, analysis, and appraisal? What are the tools we need to make use of robust economic values easier for everyone – across government and beyond? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Interactions between animal, human, and environmental health: “One Health” How can we improve the management of our ecosystems, including biodiversity loss, chemical pollution, environmental degradation, and the introduction of alien species, to reduce the risk of infectious zoonotic, animal, and plant diseases? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Interactions between animal, human, and environmental health: “One Health” How can we design and embed robust, cross-cutting indicators of, and improve our understanding of, human, animal, plant, and environmental health in systems under pressure from climate change? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Interactions between animal, human, and environmental health: “One Health” What is the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the environment and within food systems, and to what extent is this facilitating the development and transmission of AMR between animal and human populations? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Nature-based solutions How can we effectively use nature on our land to help provide the services we need (carbon uptake, flood defence, resilience through biodiversity, clean air and water, recreation for public health and so on) and balance the provision of these services? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Nature-based solutions How can we most effectively implement nature-based solutions, such as tree planting and peatland restoration, to address climate change, support progress to net zero carbon emission, reduce biodiversity loss and prevent poverty? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021

Achieving Net Zero Can other land-based approaches to greenhouse gas removal, such as enhanced weathering and biochar, help achieve net zero without negative environmental impacts? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Achieving Net Zero How can the UK optimise sustainable growth of biomass for use in power generation (bioenergy) and, with appropriate storage, for removal of atmospheric CO2? How can the negative environmental consequences from biomass production and use (on soil quality, water quality, air quality, and biodiversity) be minimised? What’s the full life cycle analysis for different feedstock? What’s the scalability of different feedstocks within sustainable limits? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
See details
Achieving Net Zero How can the UK protect and increase its standing stock of organic carbon: trees, peat, soil, and salt marshes? How can these habitats most efficiently be distributed spatially given limited land and other needs (for example urban space, food production, recreation)? How can increases in carbon stocks be achieved while maximising co-benefits such as biodiversity, clean water, and nutrient balance? Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, 2021
