🚜 About the Workshop
Soil Benchmark and NIAB invites you to an exclusive workshop to test and provide feedback on the newest feature of our platform: Grass Plan – a game-changing nutrient management tool designed specifically for grassland systems.
With grasslands making up two-thirds of UK farmland, it’s time for a system that meets the real needs of farmers and advisors working with mixed nutrient sources, compliance requirements, and sustainability goals.
Grass Plan is a unified digital solution that brings together:
- Nutrient budgeting tools
- Process-based agronomic models
- Spatial data layers (e.g., erosion risk, soil texture)
- Compliance support for SFI and FRfW regulations
🌱 Why You Should Attend
✅ Get hands-on with Grass Plan’s beta version
✅ Share feedback that will shape final development
✅ Contribute to the future of sustainable nutrient planning
✅ Network with fellow farmers, advisors, agronomists, and environmental stakeholders
✅ Hear from project partners NIAB and our advisory panel
This is more than a demo – it’s a chance to co-design the tools you’ll actually use. Whether you currently manage nutrient inputs with spreadsheets or advanced software, we want to hear how Grass Plan can serve your needs better.
