Renewable energy can boost farm incomes and secure a source of power for the future.
Taking a second look at nutrient management on the farm could save you money and reduce emissions.
At the farm level emissions arise from the use of fossil fuels, manufactured inputs, manure, as a natural by-product of animal digestion, cultivation of soils and changes in land use and vegetation.
Livestock production is a key component of Scottish agriculture. Efficient management can help to lessen the impact on climate change.
