The UK Dairy Carbon Network is working with over 50 UK dairy farms to implement and assess practical, farm-ready solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).
Led by AFBI and funded by DEFRA, the project is supported by a UK-wide consortium of leading research and industry partners.
Farm Liaison Officers, Jonathan McAleese and Stephen Shanks, have been discussing ways to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with their network of farms. Best Practice Forage and Grazing Management have emerged as popular choices.
Improving efficiency and resilience while maintaining high milk quality is at the heart of Stuart Galloway’s approach at Barvernochan Farm in Wigtownshire. He is using the project to benchmark and build a more efficient system that produces high-quality milk while reducing emissions and maximising resource use.
Farm Liaison Officer, Sarah Taylor, has been discussing options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions with dairy farms across South-West England and South Wales, with breeding emerging as one of the most popular early choices across her region.
UK Dairy Carbon Network project director Steven Morrison tells us about the project’s progress, innovation and efforts working together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across UK dairy farms.
