Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The overall premise behind the Farm Platform is: That grassland systems can be designed and managed to deliver optimal sustainable production per unit area, whilst minimising negative impacts on other ecosystem services.
The objectives of the North Wyke Farm Platform are to:
1. To provide a platform for grassland agri-environmental research.
The first year of the project will provide baseline data for animal production; water, air and soil quality; grassland productivity; and farm inputs across the whole farm platform
2. To develop sustainable grassland systems that test the optimisation of inputs and ecosystem services.
In the second year of the project we will establish 3 different management systems that will allow us to optimise inputs / outputs. These will be 'Sustainable Intensification'; 'Better use of legumes'; and 'Innovation' which will involve planned reseeding for ley grasslands. We will continue to measure the parameters in Objective 1 as measures of sustainability.
3. To assess the effect of the sustainable system on long-term trends in quantity and quality of farm outputs.
We will take a modelling approach in the later years of the project to determine these trends and to allow us to fine tune the systems.
4. To establish a demonstration site for knowledge transfer, exchange and education activities.
This will include the development of web sites which will provide access to data management, reporting and analysis tools for users, collaborators and the public.We will establish closer links with organisations such as LEAF and EBLEX and others to develop industry partnerships for KEC and education.

| Description | This grant funds the North Wyke Farm Platform which is a new National Capability that provides a unique, fully instrumented platform to enable research to develop a better understanding of sustainable grassland systems. The Farm Platform provides a Research Hotel for agri-environmental research to attract researchers from different communities and disciplines to promote new ideas or tackle old problems in new ways. The Farm Platform is globally unique in that it provides the research community access to a range of in situ state-of-the-art instrumentation in hydrologically isolated fields and farmlets to better address key issues in sustainable agriculture. The Farm Platform hasthree farmlets each consisting of five hydrologically isolated fields. The underlying principle is to manage each of these farmlets differently and record the impact on the environment. As a National Capability, we provide a set of core data including the measurement of field and water chemistry and water flow rates, greenhouse gas emissions from soils, livestock and agronomic data, and farm management records from across the Platform. These data were made available from the 31st March 2016 the Open Access Farm Platform Data Portal site. A series of Research Case Studies and Technical Case Studies are available online, which outline ongoing projects and developments on the Farm Platform. |
| Exploitation Route | There is considerable scope for use of the data by others. As examples a BBSRC-Link grant has been funded to study the environmental tolerance and impact of deep-rooting grasses in the farming environment (Sureroot, BB/L008548/1) and BASF have used the farm platform to parameterise their AgBalance model of agricultural sustainability in grassland. |

| Description | Early in the project the platform was featured widely in the media (e.g. BBC Spotlight News, Sunday Politics Show, BBC World -Horizon, ITV SW Politics Show). A Farmers Weekly article described how the platform "Records 1 billion litres of rainfall in 2012" and it was also featured in several Western Morning News articles in 2014. The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee visited North Wyke on the 8th May 2014 to gather evidence for the 2nd Report on Food Security. The six MPs that attended were Miss Anne McIntosh (Chair; Conservative, Thirsk and Malton), Mrs Mary Glindon (Labour, North Tyneside), Sheryll Murray (Conservative , South East Cornwall), Neil Parish (Conservative, Tiverton and Honiton) and Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat, Brecon and Radnorshire).The Committee were given a tour of the Farm Platform and dedicated laboratories, provided with the latest information about our research in the field and in a panel interview. The Committee found the visit 'interesting and useful' and recognised that we 'were all so enthusiastic about [our] work and the work itself was really important'. After the visit, Rothamsted Research was asked to contribute written evidence to the Committee about the importance of long-term research funding to develop sustainable livestock farming systems.The Report said the Committee 'were impressed with the range of practical research we saw at Rothamsted Research Institute' and emphasised the need for 'greater research effort and funding directed at reducing [GHG] emissions from more intensive beef, sheep and dairy farming systems' and 'run off from soil', and 'protecting soil quality'. They recognised that a 'shortage of whole or sub-farm scale research environments remains a constraint on certain types of agricultural systems research in which livestock and other farming systems' could be replicated and stressed the 'importance of systems and holistic approaches for longer term adaptation to underpin food security'. Rothamsted Research North Wyke was delighted to host the first meeting of the North Wyke and Duchy College Research Advisory Group on February 15th. Established in partnership with Duchy College Rural Business School, this new grouping comprises key farming representatives who will provide industry perspective and specialist advice on the research being undertaken by Rothamsted Research North Wyke and Duchy College Future Farm. Comprising leading beef, sheep and dairy farmers, as well as nutritionists, vets, agronomists and representatives from farming and environmental organisations including the National Sheep Association, LEAF and West Country Rivers Trust, the Research Advisory Group will help to ensure that the research expertise and state of the art facilities at North Wyke, including the Farm Platform National Capability, can be harnessed to their fullest extent for the benefit of the farming sector. Speaking after the first meeting, Research Advisory Group member Pauhla Whittaker, who with her husband runs Overtown Farm, an organic beef and sheep in Gloucestershire, was positive about the impact that this closer collaboration can have for the sector. "It is incredibly inspiring, especially at a time when, as a farmer, things can be challenging". Head of Site Professor Michael Lee was similarly positive about the day. "The Research Advisory Group launch went very well and the discussions afterwards were exactly what I wished to see with leading farmers and stakeholders enthused about what we are trying to achieve and how they can input". Going forward the Research Advisory Group will help strengthen our farming links, aiding dialogue between researchers and farmers to highlight topical issues in agriculture and disseminate research findings and best practise to the wider farming community. The experience and knowledge of the group will be key in helping to shape the research undertaken at North Wyke and Future Farm to maximise its benefit for both academia and industry. |

| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | Background and scientific objectives The overall objective of this project is to develop collaborations and share knowledge between two world renowned research institutes with expertise in grassland/livestock research. Grasslands occupy over 40% of the global biosphere1 and contribute significantly to the global production of milk and meat, and thus are a vital factor in global food security. Pasture occupies 61% of the UK's agricultural land2. In Uruguay, the total area of grazed grassland amounts to 12.7 million hectares, representing 78% of Uruguay's agricultural land3. Both countries have similarities in their grassland-based animal production, whilst climate conditions offer a gradient that is pertinent for common discussion of methodological approaches, scientific advances and knowledge gaps. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Through a partnership between Rothamsted Research (RRes) in the UK and the Instituto National de Investigacion Agropecuaria (INIA) in Uruguay, we aim to develop farm and environmental metrics using long-term data from two grassland livestock experimental platforms with comparable climate but contrasting geographies and soil types by: • Promoting scientific exchange of knowledge and best practice through reciprocal visits and workshops involving research staff; • Promoting training through reciprocal visits and workshops involving students and early-career researchers; • Pooling resources and capacities through sharing of experimental and field facilities. |
