FARMINN
A new initiative designed to support innovative on-farm research projects which aim to provide real world scientifically proven solutions to challenges faced by UK farmers affecting the efficiency, productivity and sustainability of their businesses.
Enabling UK farmers to rigorously test new ideas whilst de-risking the process of trying innovative practices
The farmer focused projects will bring together Rothamsted Research scientists and expertise with UK farmers to provide real world worked examples of scientific research which can be implemented on farms throughout the country and further afield.
Projects will follow the process detailed below:
