We are pleased to announce that Bedrock has entered into a scientific partnership agreement with agri benchmark reaffirming our commitment to the research of global agriculture and the development of sustainable production systems.  

The agri benchmark network brings together scientists, advisors, and farmers to share their insights and expertise on key sectors of the agricultural and horticultural value chains. The network is jointly operated by the Thünen Institute for Agricultural Economics (Braunschweig, Germany) and global networks gUG (Braunschweig, Germany).

The network uses internationally standardized methods to analyze farms, production systems, and their profitability providing scientifically consistent and soundly based answers on strategic issues to decision-makers in policy, agriculture, and agribusiness. Methods and main results are exposed to an ongoing quality assurance process and are open for public discussion.

Every year the curated network members report on the crops harvested each year at farm level using typical farms.

Each typical farm represents a productive region in each country and all the data collected contains a full set of economic indicators and production systems that depict the farmers' business for each crop year. To date, the network has +100 typical farms in over 40 countries.
