The key role of farm advisers in sustainable intensification

As farmers are required to produce more and more from their land the skills and knowledge of the farm adviser are becoming more important than ever.  Sustainable intensification is an important approach for farmers and all land professionals but how practical or useful are the techniques and tools being developed, and how willing will clients be to adopt new systems? In association with the SIP, landbridge will be hosting a workshop at Nafferton Farm in Northumberland on 8th September 2016, with opportunities for advisers to explore these issues and learn more about the Sustainable Intensification Research Platform.
