Established by the Royal Agricultural Society of England in 2013, IfA works with a wide range of farmers, growers, land managers and researchers to make farming more sustainable, profitable and resilient for the future. We connect farmers with pioneering research and technology helping farmers to innovate and adopt new ideas. We take a bottom-up approach to knowledge exchange and co-develop the knowledge and technologies that will make modern farming more resilient in a changing landscape. Through practical and interactive workshops, farm walks, study tours and on-farm demonstrations, we help farmers to put this knowledge into practice. As a team of facilitators with varied specialisms across regenerative farming, soil health, water, animal health and welfare, we help shift farming practice to be more nature-friendly and adaptable in a rapidly evolving world.
Innovation for Agriculture (IfA) is an independent knowledge exchange charity that aims to bridge the gap between science and practice.
