Putting farmers at the heart of innovation is key to getting the right technical solutions to their challenges.

 The much-anticipated ADOPT programme is due to kick off in the Spring, providing funding to help farmers and innovators co-design and deliver the right research onto the farm.

Join us virtually to explore how farmers and innovators can work more effectively together to ensure new technologies and practices deliver real on-farm impact. As well as examples and case studies, we’ll be taking a deeper dive into:

  • Aligning and managing expectations
  • Running trials in a real-world commercial setting
  • “We’re all innovators – but are we talking the same language?”
  • Sticking to a trials protocol – (even if it looks like it’s all going wrong!)
  • Sharing your results – who wants to know what?

Who will I hear from? 

We’ll be hearing from those who – like us – have been at the interface of farming innovation and practice and have the top tips to make the most of your project and really get the outcomes you need! The speaker line-up includes:

  • Tom Allen Stevens, British On-Farm Innovation Network - founder of a network of farmers who carry out their own on-farm trials and share the results, seeking a scientifically robust way to progress farm practice.
  • David Clarke, Soils and Farming Systems Specialist at NIAB - specialising in precision agriculture and spatial data analysis working on integrating Cropping System Models into on farm decision making
  • James Miller, CEO at Earth Rover- an agritech start-up pioneer in the use of concentrated light for weed control using AI and robotics

On Farm Experimentation (OFE) is increasingly being recognised as having transformative power in improving performance in agricultural systems across the world.

Funding available for research and knowledge exchange in the UK comes from a mix of public, industry and charitable sources

Many of the most telling innovations that make a difference on-farm come from farmers themselves, or from close collaboration between farmers, advisors, industry and researchers
