We want the emissions that we produce from farming activities and inputs to be equal to the emissions we remove from the atmosphere.
The guide produced by Innovation for Agriculture on behalf of the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) called Farm of the Future: Journey to Net Zero has provided a snapshot of the systems that could help farm businesses start their journey to net zero. The systems have been split into three categories:
For more information about these systems mentioned in the categories, please click here to access the guide.
1. Completed two carbon audits for year 2022 and 2023
2. Improved animal performace in all livestock sectors:
- lowered the finishing age in our heifers and steers to 13.3 and 15 months, respectively
- introduced a second finishing ration, with a lower true protein content) at the 80kg to 112kg weight range in our pig unit, to lower the carbon emissions per liveweight gain from the unit
- investment in Montbelliard and Viking Red semen into a small group of Holstein Friesian cows to create a small block calving herd within the bigger herd, to improve grazing efficiency
3. Launched the Future Farm strategy in December 2024, which will highlight the farms vision in acheiving net-zero and how the farms future will pan out. Fo more information on the Future Farm strategy, click here.
