AICC CELEBRATES ITS 40TH YEAR
21 November 2020
As the farming industry braces for its biggest reform and transformation since 1945, interest in the independent advice sector has never been greater, reports the largest body of independent consultants in Europe on the eve of its 40th anniversary.
While most of the increased demand for the services of the Association of Independent Crop Consultants (AICC) is coming from farmers and growers, national and international policymakers and strategists have also been tapping into this valuable source of advice that comes without any commercial influence attached says AICC’s CEO, Sarah Cowlrick. The level of interest from new entrants wishing to pursue an independent agronomy path is higher than it has ever been she adds.
She believes that there are exciting and challenging times ahead for independent agronomists, as they work within the new political framework to make their clients’ farm businesses more resilient and profitable, while also delivering environmental returns.
“Independent agronomy has been on the up ever since the AICC was formed almost 40 years ago,” she says. “It’s now the preferred source of advice on over 2.2 million hectares, which is almost half of the UK’s arable land, and the demand for it is stronger than ever.”
A history of the AICC will be produced in the spring edition of The Independent Agronomist Magazine.
