Soil actions to reduce farm emissions

Ensuring optimum soil conditions can improve productivity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Here you can find practical, on-farm soil 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.
