Programme Summary

Launched in the United Kingdom (UK), this agriculture initiative is a magazine and information source designed to allow farmers to share ideas, so that each can benefit from the experience and development of others.

Communication Strategies

Farm Ideas is a printed publication with issues available for purchase, as well as a sample issue accessible free of charge online. The motivation for this effort is based on the belief that agricultural progress happens not merely by farmers listening to the marketing departments of machinery, chemical, and genetic companies, or banks and finance houses; instead, according to the founder of this initiative, over time, farmers have developed and applied ways of working that suit their needs, and these are a key source of knowledge.

In addition to the online publication, the Farm Ideas website features agri-info, agricultural news, reports, and an interactive frequently asked questions (FAQ) section.
