Field Labs

Helping you find out what really works, for your land and your business

Led by farmers, with input from experts, our field labs help to find low input solutions to practical challenges faced on the ground and in the field. 

A lab will usually last around 12-18 months and will test out innovative real-life solutions, participants will meet up to four times to give them the chance to follow the progress of results from start to finish.

Get involved

Our field labs are free and open to all land managers, whether organic or otherwise.

Forty people came together at Anstruther Town Hall in Fife for a talk and discussion about Holistic Management with Canadian farmer and educator Tony McQuail. 

Sometimes, the best ideas in farming come from the farmers themselves.
