‘Carbon and Farming – turning science into practice on your farm’ - Shropshire Venue

Shropshire Rural Hub - Wednesday 9 Feb 2011 at 0.00

This is a Farming Futures event.

9th February 2011


Beef, sheep and dairy farmers are invited to a free workshop on the 9th February – ‘Carbon and Farming – turning science into practice on your farm’. The workshop will demonstrate the blossoming relationship in agriculture between low carbon farming and business profitability. The day will provide you with the latest insight on why farmers should be on the front foot of the climate change debate and on how reducing greenhouse gas emissions is good for your bottom line.

You will join fellow farmers in three expert-led discussion groups on practical ways to reduce emissions (covering energy and renewables, feeding and nutrition, and nutrient and manure management). The workshop will take place at a organic beef and dairy farm in Shropshire and will include a farm walk. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
