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.
We can all benefit from sharing ideas about what works, and what we would do differently next time around. Here working farmers share their experiences of some of the changes they have made to increase their business profitability and improve environmental performance.

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.
