With the #AgZeroPlus programme, we are reaching out to farmers to explore the barriers and enablers to them adopting net-zero #farming practices.
The online survey will help us to understand what support is needed. agzeroplus.org.uk/farmersurv…

So much scientific value at @Rothamsted. The archive of soil samples from long term agricultural experiments goes back to 1843 (!!!!!), including during WWII, when staff brought tins from their home kitchens to store the soil. #agzeroplus
