The Royal Bank of Scotland and Natwest are inviting agricultural businesses to apply for a new £50 million green fund, designed to help farmers generate energy from renewable sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines.

The RBS Group created the fund after a survey of 250 agriculture businesses found that a third wanted to deploy renewable energy technologies, but more than half would need funding from their bank to invest.
