The Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture (TIAH) is excited to announce its recent acquisition of the National Libraries for Agri-Food (NLAF), a valuable knowledge exchange service for the food and farming industries.

It serves as a comprehensive resource, offering a wide array of materials including scientific publications and practice-derived content. The National Libraries for Agri-Food partners with technical, academic and commercial organisations while maintaining an independent editorial stance, ensuring all content it features is vetted for academic and technical quality. 

As we work on improving this essential resource, we’re calling on farmers, growers and other industry representatives to participate in our user research. Our goal is to enhance this service to better meet the evolving needs of the food and farming community.

Your expertise can help shape the future of this industry tool

That’s why we need your expertise and insights. We're seeking farmers and growers to participate in two key research activities:

  • Online survey: Share your thoughts on current agricultural information needs and how the NLAF can better serve you. The survey takes approximately five minutes to complete and can be done at your convenience

  • One-on-one interviews: We're looking for individuals willing to participate in in-depth conversations about their experiences finding and using information about innovations in farming and growing. These interviews will last about 30-40 minutes and take place through a virtual meeting

By taking part, you'll help shape a resource tailored to the needs of the farming community, gain early insights into upcoming improvements to the NLAF and you’ll also be entered into a prize draw for a £50 Amazon voucher. 

You can fill in our quick form to participate in the survey or express interest in an interview, or email [email protected]
