Judging Criteria
- Ease/speed of implementation: How easy was it to put the idea into practice from change of routine (training required etc) to hard changes every farm can adopt). The easier to implement the higher the score.
- Cost of implementation/cost savings provided: Time/investment vs return - simple ratios apply (ROI).
- Impact of implementation: If the impact cannot be measured then score is lower. As impact can be assessed from either welfare or sustainability across many headings then the judges will select the relevant heading and judge the impact on the basis of before versus after/now.
- Unique to the site or suitable for all: The less specific that the innovation is to the site on the entry the higher the score.
- Innovative content: Panel view ranging from 10/10 for a truly blue sky approach to 1/10 for the successful implementation of known ideas. In between come ideas that are slight variants on known themes.
