Petworth Monitor Farm meeting: Carbon

In this Petworth Monitor Farm meeting Harley Stoddart, Alasdair Sykes and Louise Knocker will lead discussion on where to start with carbon, carbon auditing and how carbon calculations can assist arable farmers in managing their zero carbon targets.

Climate change is arguably the greatest environmental challenge facing the world today and British farmers are all too aware of the increasingly frequent weather extremes. Consequently, farmers have a special responsibility to protect carbon reserves already in soils and vegetation.

As highlighted in the Government's 25-year environmental strategy and by its 'net zero' greenhouse gases emissions target, farmers must prepare their businesses for the pending deadlines.

• Making a realistic management plan to reduce carbon on arable farms
• Carbon Trading
