WHO ARE WE?
Welcome to BOFIN
BOFIN was founded in September 2020. We currently have over 3400 members, a large percentage of whom are 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 citizen scientists. Find out more about us here.
