Summary
This AHDB-convened farmer engagement event in Somerset exemplified participatory knowledge exchange on soil productivity, bringing mixed farming practitioners and advisors together to synthesise practitioner experience with evidence-based guidance. Rather than primary research, the initiative co-produced locally adapted recommendations intended to bridge research evidence with on-farm practice. The approach recognises that soil heterogeneity and regional climate variability in south-west England may benefit from place-based knowledge synthesis.
Regional applicability
This event was conducted in Somerset, United Kingdom, and directly addresses south-west England farming conditions. The participatory approach and emphasis on locally adapted soil management recommendations are directly applicable to mixed farming practice in the region and may inform similar knowledge exchange initiatives elsewhere in the United Kingdom facing comparable soil and climatic conditions.
Key measures
