Independent validation
We do not manufacture, distribute or hold equity in the products we evaluate. The finding is the deliverable.

Who we are
Bridging scientific discovery and commercial agriculture
Ferme Innovante Ghassan is an independent agricultural innovation and validation center dedicated to accelerating sustainable farming through rigorous scientific evaluation under real commercial growing conditions.
We hold no commercial interest in the technologies we test. Companies, research institutes, investors and public agencies come to us for one reason: an evidence package that survives scrutiny.
- 01Every trial runs against a matched, concurrently managed control arm.
- 02Protocols are fixed and approved before the first application.
- 03Raw data is delivered alongside the report — nothing is withheld.
- 04Null and negative results are reported with the same rigour as positive ones.
Field evidence
A result only means something next to its control
Below is a live extract from an ongoing validation programme. Treated and control arms received identical substrate, sowing density, irrigation volume and timing. The only variable was the candidate product.

Product identity is withheld during active trials. The fourth row is included deliberately: where a candidate shows no effect, we publish that too. Full datasets, statistical workings and photographic records accompany every technical report.
Why we are different
Six commitments behind every dataset we release
Scientific protocols
Randomised layouts, defined replicates, pre-registered endpoints and fixed application windows agreed before sowing.
Commercial field conditions
Trials run in the weather, soil and pest pressure your customers actually farm in — not under controlled light.
Actionable data
Effect sizes, confidence intervals and dose–response curves — in the form regulators and investors expect.
Technology acceleration
From first proof of concept to multi-site demonstration in a single season, with staged go/no-go decision points.
Global collaboration
Shared protocols with partner sites across climates, enabling multi-environment trials from one contract.
Innovation platforms
Ten research programmes, one methodology
Each platform carries its own protocol library, reference cultivars and historical baseline data — so your result can be compared against something.
PL 01Plant biostimulants
Germination, vigour, root architecture and yield response.
PL 02Abiotic stress
Drought, heat and salinity gradients with physiological endpoints.
PL 03Seed technologies
Coatings, primings and treatments on emergence and uniformity.
PL 04Biological crop protection
Efficacy under natural pest and pathogen pressure.
PL 05Regenerative agriculture
Cover cropping, reduced tillage and rotation systems.
PL 06Circular bioeconomy
By-products revalorised as inputs and evaluated in-field.
PL 07Crop nutrition
Nutrient use efficiency and fertiliser reduction strategies.
PL 08Precision agriculture
Sensor and imaging systems ground-truthed against manual data.
PL 09Soil health
Structure, organic matter and biology across multi-season blocks.
PL 10Climate resilience
Varietal and input screening against shifting conditions.
Technology validation
Independent validation for agricultural innovation
We help companies generate credible scientific evidence to support commercialisation, fundraising and regulatory submission — evidence that holds up when a due-diligence team pulls it apart.

How a trial runs
From first conversation to commercial recommendation
Eight stages, each with a defined output and a sign-off. You know what you are receiving, and when, before the season begins.
Consultation
Target crop, claim to be substantiated, timeline and commercial context.
Experimental design
Replication, randomisation, controls and statistical power set before anything is sown.
Protocol approval
Written protocol signed by both parties and locked for the duration of the trial.
Field trial
Plots established, arms blinded, applications logged against date, dose and volume.
Monitoring
Scheduled measurement rounds with photographic record and weather correlation.
Data analysis
Effect sizes, significance testing and variance interrogated before interpretation.
Technical report
Publication-grade write-up with methods, figures, raw data and limitations.
Commercial recommendation
Where evidence supports it: next-stage design, claim wording and dossier positioning.
Measured impact

Let’s accelerate agricultural innovation together
Tell us the crop, the claim you need to substantiate and your timeline. We come back with a proposed design, a duration and a cost — usually within five working days.
