Daniel Kindred

Agronomic Scientist passion about on-farm research and knowledge exchange. Joined ADAS in 2004 as a Crop Physiologist. Co-founded the YEN in 2012 with Roger Sylvester-Bradley recognising that the best ideas and innovations often come from farmers and advisers, and that there is enormous potential from sharing experiences and data to understand what drives variation in performance and learn 'what works'.  From 2014 developed ADAS' Agronomics approach to enable robust conclusions to be drawn from farmers conducting their own Line Trials, collaborating globally on the growing movement for On-Farm Experimentation.  Led the development of the FarmPEP platform from 2020. 

Joined Anglo American as Crop Scientist in 2022 seeking to develop solutions for sustainable crop nutrition globally, with the new natural mineral polyhalite. Initiated the Agronomy Research Circle. 

Set up independently in 2025 with ARC Agronomic Sciences, looking to continue to support on-farm research. See www.arcagsci.com for developments and get involved.
