Along the years, many individuals and institutions have contributed their practical experience and theoretical understanding of what is needed to progress the production of applied knowledge in agriculture.
GOFEN builds on these efforts, with the support of Cornell University and a team of international professionals committed to advancing the sciences and reach of farmer-centric On-Farm Experimentation.
