What are field labs?
We believe that agricultural research
should tackle the real problems farmers face and help them make the best
of the resources they have to hand. For this reason field labs put
the farmer at the heart of the research. We bring farmers and growers together with a
researcher and facilitator to focus on research questions. The aims are to work out effective practical
approaches to tackling a problem in sustainable farming, learn how to
do more effective DIY trials and identify real gaps where academic
research could make a crucial difference. The major difference between a
field lab and an advisory meeting or farm walk is that you will be
directly testing solutions rather than just discussing the issues or
relying on off-the-peg answers. Field labs are open to all farmers
and growers.
