Climate Change
From improving livestock efficiency to managing farm woodlands, there are a range of practical and profitable ideas that could help you to cut your carbon footprint, improve farm efficiency and profitability, whilst also improving your farms environmental performance.
Did you know you can get specialist advice on climate change, as part of an Integrated Land Management Plan (ILMP)? FAS can help fund an adviser to visit your business and provide you with a specialist advice plan in any two of the following areas:
Improved farm efficiency | Climate change adaptation and mitigation | Soil and nutrient management | Biodiversity, habitat and landscape management | Woodland management and conservation | Water pollution, prevention and control | Organics | Archaeological and historic site advice | Animal welfare
