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.
