This is a national aspiration, not an expectation that every farm can reach net zero. 皇家华人recognises that every farm will start the journey to net zero from a different place and will need a unique action plan. The first step is to assess the likely emissions sources on farm as well as considering on farm carbon sequestration. Using a carbon calculator is one way to achieve this.
The NFU's net zero: Farm Status Indicator has been designed to provide an introduction to carbon footprinting. It focuses on three pillars of activity that the NFU has identified as being key to helping farmers and growers tackle the issue at farm level:
- Boosting听productivity and reducing emissions
- Farmland carbon storage
- Coupling bioenergy to carbon capture, utilisation and storage
This tool is not a comprehensive carbon calculator,听rather it aims to provide a quick and easy guide to the practical measures you can put in place听on your farm to reduce your agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.
Log in and try out the NFU Farm Status Indicator today to see where you are on the journey to reducing your emissions. On completion you'll also find a number of resources that will help you on farm, net zero guidance and a review of three carbon calculators most applicable to you.听
