Soil Biology and Soil Health PartnershipRegistration for farmer innovation research group Survey

Are you interested in being part of the team?

We are looking to work with at least 6 farmer research innovation groups (each 10-15 farmers) from a wide range of farms and farming systems across the country (encompassing a diverse range of climate, soil, rotations) between 2018 and 2021 to measure the impacts of the broad range of innovations in management of soil health already present on commercial farms.

The groups may already exist or we may form new groups from farmers who express their interest in taking an active part in the programme.

All respondents will be contacted in February to update them and to invite them to a regional meeting for further planning and discussion. Please note that completing this survey doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be possible to work with you as part of the programme. However, we will keep all interested parties updated with news of research findings and events throughout the lifetime of the programme.

Please complete the following survey to register your interest to join.
