ADAS Farming Association membership provides independent strategic technical support to help you improve farm productivity.

We put current research into perspective and offer clear guidance on forthcoming agronomy decisions for our members. We also cover non-agronomy topics such as biofuels, waste regulations etc.

Conferences and meetings will cover various topics and can be attended by any member. All of our events and publications will be allocated the appropriate BASIS and NRoSo points.

 

 

All our members are affiliated to one of our four ADAS Research Centers

  • ADAS Rosemaund, Herefordshire

  • ADAS High Mowthorpe, N. Yorkshire

  • ADAS Boxworth, Cambridgeshire

  • ADAS Gleadthorpe, Nottinghamshire

To join one of our Farming Associations, please contact Chloe Morgan chloe.morgan@adas.co.uk

  • Two technical updates rounding up the latest findings from crop research projects (by email).
  • Invitation to conferences and meetings with ADAS specialists summarising how the latest research can help you increase profits.

The farming press is a very important route to disseminating knowledge across the industry.  A range of newsletters serving a host of communities help keep people up to date. Share here sources of news and info that you find most useful.

Knowledge Exchange in Agriculture in the UK is diverse, with many organisations involved. That is part of the reason for creating Farm-PEP, to help provide connections to what many percieve as a fragmented landscape.

FarmPEP aims to connect the many networks, communities and groups across Agriculture. Add your network as a Group and connect to the 'Networks' Topic to have your network show up below. 

Share resources, groups and projects that you've found helpful for soil management.

Driving Decision Making for Efficient & Sustainable Agricultural Production ADAS Digital Decision Support encompasses the way in which we use digital data and digital technology to deliver solutions in crop production, sustainable food and farming, land management and ecology to our clients.

There has been plenty of good analysis of why agri-food innovation is slow to make progress and often great science is not adopted. Rather than ‘more research’ we need better targeted research. We also need to spend existing money more efficiently and that is the focus of the actions outlined. My plan is informed by over 45 years of being fully immersed in our agricultural community and working at the interface of practical farming, research and government. Rather than another analysis of what is wrong it deliberately aims to focus on actions that I believe will move a great industry full of committed people forward to create a resilient industry that efficiently feeds the growing population and enhances the environment.   This content was originally published on LinkedIn at Action plan to deliver impact from UK agricultural R&D.
