Have your say on decision support tools

This is being held as part of a Europe-wide Research Project into Developing SUstainable PERmanent Grassland systems and policies (SUPER-G).

The aim of the workshops is to evaluate the existing decision support tools for each farming system and land type which ‘measure to manage’ productivity, profitability and the delivery of ecosystem services and identify gaps. They will challenge farmers and other key stakeholders to identify their future needs and requirements that will maximise future adoption of decision support tools.

AgriSearch and AFBI are holding a series of workshops for each farming type:
