The Duke of Cornwall joined 150 people in Cornwall on Tuesday 19 July as they celebrated a “remarkable” 10 years of farmer-led research with the Innovative Farmers network.

Now in its 10th year, Innovative Farmers is celebrating the success of more than 120 field labs that have placed farmers in the driving seat of agricultural research, with the network connecting with around 12,000 UK farmers.

The event showcased results from the last decade that have shown that farmer-led research could improve the health of thousands of animals, eliminate tonnes of harmful chemicals, and save the farming industry millions of pounds.

Triallists and co-ordinators shared insights on nature-based farming solutions – such as using woodchip to tackle weeds, predatory insects to fight pests, and using on-farm lab kits to cut antibiotic use in dairy cows.
