Our Agroecology at Scale programme brings together farmers, land owners and other farm practitioners to learn about sustainable farming and scale up its adoption across the UK.
We know from years of experience that farmers learn best from other farmers. In supportive, dynamic groups, they can listen to each other's successes and challenges.
Underpinning this knowledge exchange is science-based research. It's led by a range of academic and research organisations our farming advisors know and trust.
