What’s being planned?
The project is running a range of activities which will develop and deliver practical advice for farmers on how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, showcase innovation, provide robust science through soil testing and carbon footprinting, and inspire other farmers to tell their stories to consumers on the steps that they are taking to address climate change and protect soil health.
“What is interesting is that at the Farm Net Zero meetings it is the younger generation that is coming in. It is a credit that we have got this opportunity in Cornwall”
Martin Howlett, Deer Park Farm.
