Thanks Thanks, yes not finished it yet so not yet optimised for mobile. We are working on the best 'way in' and getting across more clearly what its all about. Is there anything you would like to see for it to have value to you?

We have now got the first iteration of the Farm-PEP knowledge exchange website up at www.farmpep.net Interested in your views and what can be improved (bearing in mind that the site functionality and views are still being developed, and we've only just started adding content).

Practical, easy-to-use guidance to help farmers reduce their greenhouse gas footprint. By farmers, for farmers.

Performance Enhancement Platform

That is absolutely what we are trying to solve with Farm-PEP - see our thinking at www.farmpep.net Great if you could complete the quick survey there or on this link - https://farmpep.creative.coop/form/user-survey Thanks!

That is all a reason for farmers to form co-operatives to gain more market power. It isn't a reason to not engage in knowledge exchange and to help each other increase profitability.

It doesn't matter if it is UK producers or foreign producers who reduce the COP, if product is available cheaper from elsewhere (with similar quality and standards) then buyers will buy from where it is cheapest. The buyers can only force down prices as far as there are sellers willing to sell...

Do you have many 'trade secrets' that make a big difference to your farm profitability that you wouldn't want to share, but you think could make a big impact on others? Or isn't it more the case that because each farm and each farmer is different that what works well for you may not work so...

Interested in others views on this. There is collaboration in all industries, and all manner of networking events, conferences, trade magazines, forums etc. The big difference is scale - the largest banks and supermarkets and other companies are prevented from talking freely to each other by...

I think this is a really important point - everybody needs a motivation to exchange knowledge. Lots of people do it on here and on twitter etc unprompted, i guess for the recognition, because they enjoy engaging with others and because they feel there is more they can learn from others. In the...

The Resources section on TFF is a great first step, and I think will be a great way to share outputs from PEP widely. Would also be great to find ways for discussions and knowledge exchange on TFF to be captured on PEP for the 'knowledge nuggets' to be integrated and distilled.
