AICC'S INPUT INTO FARM-PEP PROJECT

22 October 2021

AICC in collaboration wtih ADAS, British Geological Survey, Innovative Farmers and Map of Ag/Precision Decisions have been successful in developing Farm-PEP as a Performance Enhancement Partnership via Defra & UKRI Farming Innovation Pathways competition to support on-farm research and knowledge sharing.

The project will develop from the platform being created at www.farmpep.net in a separate Innovate UK project. It supports the approach that ADAS has developed with the YENs and Agronomics to bring together farmers, advisors, industry and researchers around a common topic of interest. All four pillars of the approach above will be addressed, starting with (1) shared knowledge and conceptual framework that informs (2) shared metrics which allows benchmarking and analysis, leading to (3) shared ideas that can be (4) robustly tested together.

The new project will:

• utilise the knowledge sharing functionality being developed at www.farmpep.net
• develop data exchange of agronomic data from farm management software (Map of Ag) 
• develop Dynamic Benchmarking for a range of metrics and filters (ADAS)
• develop Farm Trials Tool (BGS & ADAS)
• develop best approaches for facilitating co-learning groups (Innovative Farmers & AICC)
• initiate Crop Nutrition Clubs (AICC led)
