Videos and podcasts are potential methods of delivering advice to land managers that do not rely on face-to-face contact.

The Organic Research Centre is looking to appoint a Project Manager to oversee management of Agricology, a web-based platform supporting farmers and growers in learning about practical sustainable farming regardless of labels. The job holder will play a key role in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the project.

Poor returns, high pest and disease pressure and soil fertility decline are strong reasons to adopt agroecology practices on farm. These were some of the key messages outlined by 21 speakers at the first “Agricology” open day, held at Daylesford Organic Farm, near Kingham, Gloucestershire.

Agricology was created to encourage the exchange of information about practical, sustainable farming. We recognise that this is best achieved by pulling on the wellies and getting into the field, so we are holding our first Open Day!
