The NFU believes that the agricultural sector is very much part of the solution to decarbonising the UK economy and achieving net zero and we are working on proposals for pilot schemes to introduce policy incentives to bring to life net zero for farmers and growers.
May 26, 2023 · Agriculture faces a unique challenge in that it causes climate change through non-CO 2 emissions. The majority of GHG emissions from agriculture come from methane, accounting for 54%, followed by nitrous oxide at 28%, and carbon dioxide at 18% (figure 1 (C)).
Jun 12, 2023 · Net zero strategies are vital to achieve both food security and address negative environmental impacts. This perspective paper reviews and assesses the most viable options (actions) to achieve net zero with a focus on the arable/livestock and protected cropping sectors in the UK.
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 ...
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.
Sep 5, 2022 · This work provides options and a vision to guide global FSs to achieving net-zero by 2050. Food systems (FSs) emit ~ 20 GtCO2e/y (~ 35% of global greenhouse gas emissions).
Jun 25, 2024 · By adopting practices that minimise emissions and increase carbon sinks, farms can achieve a net zero GHG balance and contribute to global climate mitigation actions (Rosa and Gabrielle 2023) but large uncertainty prevails.
