    The NFU highlights the 26 ways farmers are doing their bit for net zero

    The National Farmers Union has published 26 examples of how farmers are working towards net zero on their farms, showing how other farmers can make changes to their businesses to help achieve the NFU’s 2040 net zero ambition.

    The booklet, titled Doing our bit for Net Zero, includes case studies from every sector and from farms across England and Wales, and cover each of the three pillars outlined in the NFU’s net zero plan: productivity, carbon storage and renewables and bioenergy.

    Some of the work outlined in the booklet includes:

    • Improving genetics and animal health;
    • Increasing soil health and fertility;
    • Undertaking precise tree planting and woodland management;
    • Investing in new technologies to increase productivity; and
    • Creating biomass and renewable energy to power the farm and local areas.

    The 26 case studies aim to inspire farmers to start their net zero journey ahead of the 26th meeting of the United Nations’ Climate Change Conference (COP26), which will take place in Glasgow in November next year.

    NFU deputy president Stuart Roberts said: “British farmers are ambitious and we want to be the global leader when it comes to climate-friendly food.

    “Our goal of net zero agriculture by 2040 means the industry as a whole being a net zero contributor to climate change. It is a challenge but by coming together to encourage progress it can be done, and it will also help improve our business resilience as well as our environment.

    “We also recognise that each farmer will be starting their net zero journey from a different place. Whether they’re at the start of this journey or well on the way, every farm and business model has something it can offer.”
