🤖 AI Activity Report

Status: very-active

AI Reasoning: Defra (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) has documented investment activity in 2025: examples include grant/partnership activity through the Farming Innovation Programme. Recent competitions and partnerships in 2025 (e.g., May-September 2025) and listed successful projects such as RootWave and Hoofcount indicate Defra engaged in investment/funding in 2025, which is less than 6 months before the reference date. The most recent specific 2025 activity found was September 2025 (FIP competitions and announcements). That places the last known investment within 6 months, therefore classify as very-active.

Angel activity thresholds:
Low Activity – Only known angel investments more than 12 months ago.
Active – Known angel investments between the last 12 and 6 months.
Very Active – Known angel investments in the last 6 months.
