FAS TV S5 Episode 24
This week's FAS TV is focused on preparing for lambing. We hear from SAC Consulting Nutritionist Lorna Shaw who discusses the impact of recent wintry weather as well as key considerations in preparation for lambing. As well as nutritional advice we also hear from a farm vet from the Galedin Veterinary group.
FAS TV covers a wide range of topics across sectors, as well as regular updates on regulatory and policy changes.
In this Thrill of the Hill episode, we sit down with Senior Consultant and Lead on the Carbon Dynamics Knowledge Network, James Orr from SAC Consulting to explore what carbon reduction really looks like in upland and hill farming systems. James shares his perspective on the actions farmers can take now, the investments most likely to deliver benefits, and how measuring and understanding carbon footprints can support better decision-making.
