Crops and forage actions to reduce farm emissions

Optimising fertiliser usage on crops and adjusting what you’re growing can help reduce emissions.

Here you can find practical, on-farm crop and forage actions that will help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which also outline the wider environmental, productivity and financial benefits.

With support from UK Agri-Tech Centre, AHDB has developed these resources to provide guidance and raise awareness of what can be done now and in the future to benefit your business and the environment.
