Rothamsted Research explores on-farm measures to control sediment and their impacts and challenges. There are options to reduce sediment at the source, mobilization, and delivery stages on farms. Demonstration test catchments provide evidence on implementing measures and extrapolating results. Challenges include low uptake due to farm incomes, poor management practices, and the overriding effects of climate on sediment losses. Successful mitigation of agricultural sediment requires whole-farm planning as part of sustainable intensification approaches.
