Webinar: Bridge Farm final strategic dairy farm meeting – Demystifying Carbon

Join us for this webinar with David Cotton of Bridge Farm as we review his time as a strategic dairy farmer and explore how he has reduced the carbon footprint of the farm while developing a profitable dairy farming business.

The reduction in carbon emissions is embedded in government policy and increasingly in the minds of the consumers who have more choice than ever. Many processors are beginning to track the carbon footprints of their producers using a number of different tools. At this event you’ll see examples of the changes made at Bridge Farm, and will be able to analyse and discuss how management decision have impacted the carbon emissions on David’s farm.

We will be joined by Liz Bowles, CEO of Farm Carbon Toolkit, to discuss greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture and how the farming sector can minimise its carbon emissions and maximise its carbon sequestration while producing quality food.

During the event we will discuss:

• Why we are in such a powerful position as farmers
• How carbon footprinting can be a positive tool for farmers to use
• The similarities between the main carbon footprinting tools
• The ethics of carbon offset
• Examples of where improvements in carbon management have increased profitability
• The role of biodiversity and the wider environment.
