A new professional body created to support skills, standards and leadership across UK agriculture has officially launched following the merger of two long-established organisations. The Society of Agriculture (SocAg) began operating on 1 January 2026 after the Institute of Agricultural Management (IAgrM) and the British Institute of Agricultural Consultants (BIAC) combined to form a single organisation. The new website for the Society of Agriculture can be accessed here. The site will act as a central hub for professional recognition, continuing professional development, news, events and publications, as well as member account access. Members and subscribers are being advised to look out for activation emails to complete their online registration.
