11/12/2020
The assessments will be carried out by SAC Consulting and ADAS until March 2021, with results leading to mitigation measures and carbon action plans.
Dr Jonathon Foot, AHDB’s head of environment, said: “The assessments are essentially the gathering of information – to identify and quantify all activities or inputs on farm that come with a carbon footprint. This can be anything from diesel, electricity, feed and fertiliser and so on.
