Syngenta Conservation Ag project
UK agriculture in the future will be directed towards a more sustainable farming system. However, there is a need to understand, identify and assess the potential benefits of conservation agriculture and challenges it poses for adoption to be successful.
Syngenta’s Conservation Ag Project is:
– Focusing on three different cultivation systems at field scale
– European project lasting 5 years
– 5 countries across different soil types
– 8,400 data points across 2 sites over 5 years in the UK, to understand different farming systems and impacts on: productivity, profitability, field operations, agronomy, sustainability
– Working alongside farmers, researchers and industry specialists to understand the complexity and riskiness of the systems to provide advice for sustainable farming adoption
