Research Projects & Trials
Research projects and trials
Want to have your finger on the pulse of the latest research on agroecology? This is your chance! We are working with leading research institutions across the UK to showcase current research happening in the field; linking farmers and researchers to enable transitions to more sustainable farming systems based on ecology. Research project pages share details of current projects, sharing outputs as they are delivered. Research trial pages provide details of specific field trials - providing updates over time to share observations, learnings and results.
