Esther Rosewarne is the Evidence Lead in the environmental land management tests and trials team.
The tests and trials team works with farmers and land managers on the delivery of tests and trials. Doing so provides us with the evidence we need to design and deliver policies that work.

What we’re learning about collaboration through tests and trials

One goal of Defra’s Future Farming and Countryside Programme is to help farmers and land managers achieve bigger, better environmental benefits.

We want to encourage more collaboration like this.
