Supporting on-farm research to understand what works on-farm, through explanations, evidence, experimentation and exchange

Website
thearc.farm

The Agronomy Research Circle unites farmers, researchers and advisors to understand what works on-farm through explanations, evidence, experiments and exchange. 

We connect tools, resources, networks and organisations to enable collaborative on-farm research, to test and share ideas, products and practices that improve farm performance.

We offer support for the new Defra ADOPT programme, as facilitator, contractor or full partner. Get in touch if you have ideas you'd like to test-on farm or check us out on the Connections Hub. 

We are now launching ARC Innovators for farmers who like to get involved in research opportunities - sign up below, or become an ARC Follower if you'd just like to stay in the know.

Agricultural research is conducted by a range of organisations, from individual farmers, through advisors, distributors, manufacturers, charities, societies, supply chain companies, levy bodies, universities and research institutes.  This page aims to connect across these often disparate sources.

Farmer led innovation

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
