case study 9
Around a 100 livestock farmers from across the UK will work with the project group, involved in testing, developing and demonstrating this new technology. To get the best results, the project is working with farmers from a variety of systems - organic, regenerative and conventional, a selection of whom will be part of on-farm field labs and workshops.

How will the project evolve?
PASTORAL is currently in its ‘discovery phase’, finding out more about farmers’ needs and preferences, as well as collecting field maps and management details from participating farmers.
The second ‘development phase’ runs throughout 2022. This will see satellite imagery, advanced modelling and weather and climate data combined to produce field reports of weekly biomass and monthly/annual carbon budgets. Farmers will be at the heart of this process, to make sure reports are appealing and providing value. Participating farmers will have early access to reports throughout 2022 and 2023 so they can test the tool and provide feedback.

Case study 10
Improved pasture management can help make your farm run more efficiently, be more productive and support all-important soil health. By developing effective tools to monitor pasture at a field scale, you can reduce inputs, waste and reliance on concentrated feeds. Current methods can be time consuming and do not always reflect field quality or future growth accurately. PASTORAL’s goal is to provide accurate data and biomass monitoring in a format which can save time.

Case study 6
Over the whole site we have planted many different species of fruit, nut, timber and browse species, but are still not really sure after only 5 years which will truly thrive in our soil and microclimate.
Our almond trees are growing more vigorously than I could have dreamed of, though have yet to produce significant crop. The quince trees on the other hand, which I have previously grown with no problem, are looking pathetic.
