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:
“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“History takes time.... History makes memory.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
