BOFIN Communications Executive/Manager
(full-time, hybrid/remote)
The British On-Farm Innovation Network (BOFIN) was founded in September 2020. We currently have nearly 4,000 members, including more than 700 forward-thinking farmers who carry out their own on-farm trials and share their results, seeking scientifically robust ways to progress their farm practice. The rest of the membership are scientists who carry out this work, innovators, knowledge exchange managers and a large contingent of ‘citizen scientists’.
