In the 26 days leading up to the COP26 conference in Glasgow during November 2021 we will be running a daily video series showcasing a different practical measure that is being used by Scottish farmers to help reduce the farm carbon footprint and mitigate against climate change.
Five farmers are working together to establish how best to support, enhance and protect their farm soils. They will aim to improve production and tailor inputs, maximising profitability.
We’ve been working with farmers across Scotland using Agrecalc to see what practical changes could improve efficiency and cut the carbon footprint.
Farming for a Better Climate (FFBC) provides practical support to benefit the farm and help reduce our impact on the climate. Find out more about the initiative; read our Newsletters; listen to our Podcasts and read our press articles on the About Us section of the website.

Farms are in a good position to lower their carbon footprint and lock carbon into the soil and vegetation. This process is known as creating ‘carbon sinks’ or sometimes referred to as ‘carbon sequestration’.
We are already seeing more variability in our weather. What could you do to make your business more resilient to climate change?
Using less fossil fuel means lower energy bills and fewer emissions
Renewable energy can boost farm incomes and secure a source of power for the future.
