Mechanisation and climate-smart agricultural practice model farms – field day demonstrations report

This report assesses a series of field day demonstrations that took place between 27 October and 15 December 2019, focusing on climate-smart agriculture and conservation farming, as well as mechanisation and on-farm water management practices. The report conveys the key findings and lessons learned from the model farms, including the commercial and environmental advantages of adopting and correctly implementing these technologies and practices. It then draws conclusions from the final field day demonstrations, noting their successes and challenges, and providing recommendations intended to improve the efficacy of such interventions in the future.
