Resource explained:
This is the first of a series of short films telling the story of Innovative Farmers. Thames Water are facilitating a no till and cover crop farming field lab in the Evenlode river catchment to enable farmers to trial more water sensitive farming practices. This film catches up with 3 of these farmers who are embarking on 5 years of farmer-led research to look at longer-term soil and water health benefits of these farming practices.
Findings & recommendations:
- Find out more about the 'No till and cover crops for smarter water catchments' field lab here.
- Get involved in your own farmer-led research! To keep informed of how this field lab and others are progressing or if you have your own ideas for a field lab, you can sign up and become a member of the Innovative Farmers network and contact the Innovative Farmers team to find out how to get involved.
