Improving efficiencies
Our Climate Change Focus Farm project took volunteer farmers on a journey aimed at reducing the farm carbon footprint. This started with a baseline carbon footprint which was used to identify areas where efficiencies of production could be made. It was found that by making small but incremental changes in production, most of the farms were able to improve productivity and as a result profitability within the farming enterprises. With uncertainty in some input costs, e.g. feed and fertiliser, making the best use of resources is key to ensuring profitability. The topics below are worth consideration to help build business resilience.
