The British On-Farm Innovation Network 

 A network of farmers who carry out their own on-farm trials and share the results, seeking a scientifically robust way to progress farm practice.

BOFIN was founded by Tom Allen-Stevens in 2020 to bring together farmers who want to get involved in on-farm trials and test out innovations themselves.

The network currently has over 600 members with at least 60% of our members being farmers who carry out their own on-farm trials and share their results, seeking scientifically robust ways to progress their farm practice. The rest of the membership are scientists who carry out this work, innovators, knowledge exchange managers.

BOFIN members are particularly keen to be involved with technological innovations at an early stage in their development. Crop innovations represent a key focus for BOFIN. The BOFIN model has created a ‘Knowledge Cluster’ that acts as a communication channel and opens up a tiered approach to how farmers are engaged.

BOFIN is involved with a variety of different projects, all with aim of creating a more sustainable future for farming. Click on the project names below to find out more, stay updated, and learn how to get involved. 

Check out our latest newsletter for all of our latest updates where we share important project updates and coverage from across the media. You will also find our monthly highlights under 'BOFIN News', along with the latest videos from the fields. Click here to read more!

We are always hosting exciting events, workshops, sharing news on social media and engaging with our members. We would love to welcome you as a BOFIN member and see how we can work together for the future of farming. Join BOFIN using the form below:

FLIN Farmer-led Innovation Network

The Farmer-Led Innovation Network (FLIN) are UK based organisations driving farmer-led innovation - working together to power up and increase the impact of farmer led innovation initiatives.

Nitrogen Efficient Plants for Climate Smart Arable Cropping Systems’ (NCS)

Nitrogen Efficient Plants for Climate Smart Arable Cropping Systems (NCS) is a four-year £5.9M ambitious research programme involving 200 UK farms and 18 partners. The project is funded by the Defra Farming Innovation Programme, delivered by Innovate UK. The consortium of UK companies, research institutes and farmer networks, led by PGRO, aims to bring about a reduction of 1.5Mt CO₂e per annum or 54% of the maximum potential for UK Agriculture. This will be achieved by increasing pulse and legume cropping in arable rotations to 20% across the UK (currently 5%). In addition, 50% of imported soya meal used in livestock rations will be replaced with home-grown feeds.  Both of these ambitious aims will be steered by science and proven by real farm enterprises, with significant benefits for both crop and livestock productivity, including cost savings of over £1bn/yr.

Farm centric research

Farm-centric research generally involves On-Farm Experimentation and may be better described as 'Farm Action Research', i.e. research conducted at least in part by and for beneficiaries who also farm. 

Slug-Resistant Wheat

Slug-Resistant Wheat A project to explore the properties of Watkins 788, a landrace wheat believed to be resistant to slugs, never before been grown in the UK. 

On Farm Experimentation

On Farm Experimentation (OFE) is increasingly being recognised as having transformative power in improving performance in agricultural systems across the world.

Research

Agricultural research is conducted by a range of organisations, from individual farmers, through advisors, distributors, manufacturers, charities, societies, supply chain companies, levy bodies, universities and research institutes.  This page aims to connect across these often disparate sources.

Networks

FarmPEP aims to connect the many networks, communities and groups across Agriculture. Add your network as a Group and connect to the 'Networks' Topic to have your network show up below. 

Knowledge Exchange

Knowledge Exchange in Agriculture in the UK is diverse, with many organisations involved. That is part of the reason for creating Farm-PEP, to help provide connections to what many percieve as a fragmented landscape.

Farmer led innovation

Many of the most telling innovations that make a difference on-farm come from farmers themselves, or from close collaboration between farmers, advisors, industry and researchers

Can we reduce N fertiliser rates whilst increasing SOM and yields?

Prompted by conversations on twitter this page is to explore where rates of nitrogen on-farm can be reduced whilst soil organic matter levels and yields are increased, using regenerative agriculture practices.

SLIMERS

Strategies Leading to Improved Management and Enhanced Resilience against Slugs (SLIMERS) This project is led by BOFIN, partnered with CHAP, AGRIVATION, Harper Adams University, John Innes Centre, and Small Robot Company. It is funded by Defra Farming Innovation Programme, delivered by Innovate UK.

Harvest Weed Seed Control

Harvest Weed Seed Control (HWSC) A project to explore harvest weed seed control (HWSC) under UK conditions as a method to control grassweeds and reduce the dependence on chemical control, particularly glyphosate.

Soil Fungal Communities

Soil Fungal Communities Project to establish the level of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in arable soils across a range of locations, soil types and management systems.

Peas and beans as a livestock feed

Though peas and beans have long been a trusted part of cropping rotations, it is perhaps only recently that the scope and value of their potential is being realised.
