## Description

As part of our work to support a Productive and Resilient farming industry, we wish to understand whether and why any barriers currently inhibit farmers' use of risk management tools\. This work will provide us with a better understanding of: - the way farmers make decisions about whether to these tools and what matters to them \(reasons given for use/not using\)\. - any barriers which might be reducing the use of the tools\. - what might increase uptake Additional information: Please note that Defra procurement uses an E-tendering system for Procurement activities\. This is currently provided by Bravo Solutions\.
