The vision of the Network of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics (NABES) is to establish a UK-wide network of quantitative experts working in applied agricultural, biological and environmental sciences, with the principal aim of developing a community of practice through the sharing of statistical and biomathematical expertise and resources.

Many applied research and implementation organisations have small numbers of quantitative experts – often as low as one, and frequently having none at all with formal training in statistics or biomathematics.

The network we establish will be a “one-stop shop” for advice, guidance and expertise in statistics and data science for research and implementation in agriculture, bioscience, food, nutrition, public health, ecology and environment. Quantitative experts in government agencies, NGOs, applied research institutes, and the commercial sector – whether formally trained data scientists or otherwise – will have access to peer support and potential collaborators to enable better use of expensively collected and maintained data sets, and provide better value for funders.
