Jun 19, 2024 · 19 June 2024. How farming could become the ultimate climate-change tool. A generation of farmers and scientists are finding ways to sequester carbon in the soil while improving crop yields. By....
Aug 1, 2022 · To capture value from the net-zero transition, food and agriculture leaders turn to efficiency enhancements, carbon sequestration, and alternative proteins. Close to one-third (27 percent) of the world’s greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions stem from food and agriculture—over half from animal farming. A net-zero transition in food and agriculture ...

The Carbon Budget Delivery Plan contains the full list of proposals and policies including the name, description and, where possible, the quantified savings in Carbon Budgets 4, 5 and 6 (covering 2023-27, 2028-32 and 2033-37 respectively). We’re going up to Carbon Budget 6 because it’s the furthest budget ahead for which the government has a legall...
Ruminant livestock and their wastes are the leading cause of farm emissions, but feed additives with methane inhibiting properties have the potential to reduce some of these emissions, especially from farm systems encompassing periods of housing for cattle. We anticipate entry of high efficacy methane suppressing products to the UK market from 2025...
We also confirmed in the Net Zero Growth Plan that we want to develop a harmonised approach to carbon audits. We’ve heard that because there are a lot of different tools and approaches, this can be confusing. We also said Defra will set out how it intends to support farmers with carbon auditing by 2024. This is a really important step to demonstrat...
We noted farmers’ efforts are vital to reducing emissions not just from farming but also from the wider land use sector. One example of that is through introducing agroforestry systems and we have set out our ambition to introduce agroforestry systems on 10% of arable land by 2050. This represents an important step to sequester carbon and we know t...

Jul 23, 2019 · Like other sectors of the economy, agriculture will have to contribute if the UK is to meet its ambitious pledge to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. But farming, which accounts for...
As farmers we have a special responsibility to protect carbon reserves already in our soils and vegetation. But we must and we can do more. We know emissions from UK farms presently amount to 45.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent a year – about one-tenth of UK GHG emissions.
Our new white paper report “Achieving Net Zero: farming’s 2040 goal” sets out three pillars of activity that will drive agriculture in the UK towards achieving this aim: improving farming’s productive efficiency. changing land use and management to capture more carbon in soils and vegetation.
Jun 27, 2023 · Sustainable farming is necessary for decarbonization. But to get the world to net zero, the agriculture sector must take action along the entire value chain.
