In 2015, the UK pledged to be Net Zero by 2050, with the NFU striving for the more ambitious target of 2040. Net Zero is achieved when the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted is balanced with those removed from the atmosphere. This helps to combat climate change and reduce global warming.
Pulses are leguminous crops harvested for dry protein-rich seed, with peas (pisum sativum) and beans (vicia faba) being the major crops in the UK.
The British On-Farm Innovation Network A network of farmers who carry out their own on-farm trials and share the results, seeking a scientifically robust way to progress farm practice.
Animal nutrition plays a crucial role in livestock agriculture for several reasons, as it directly impacts the health, productivity, and overall wellbeing of farm animals.
Legume is the commonly used name for the family of flowering plants, Fabaceae. Any plant in the Fabaceae family that has leaves, stems and pods are referred to as a Legume.
Climate change threatens our ability to ensure global food security, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development. In 2016, 31 percent of global emissions originating from human activity came from agrifood systems.
The key GHGs for agriculture that contribute directly to climate change are: Carbon dioxide (CO2) Methane (CH4) Nitrous oxide (N2O) All these GHGs are often grouped under the umbrella term ‘carbon’.
Farmers are taking part in and being paid for on-farm trials as part of the NCS project.
