History
ADAS was originally formed in 1946 as the National Agricultural Advisory Service (NAAS) advising the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) before becoming the Agricultural Development and Advisory Service (ADAS) in 1971. It became an executive agency of MAFF in 1992 and was privatised in 1997, since when the company has been just known as ADAS.
To this day ADAS remains a preferred supplier to Governments and a wide range of enterprises in the public and private sectors, throughout the UK and internationally.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“The history of this country was made largely by people who wanted to be left alone. Those who could not thrive when left to themselves never felt at ease in America.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
