Agrecalc’s Head of Science, Dr Rachael Ramsey explores how carbon insetting holds immense potential, particularly in the context of reducing emissions from the agri-food sector.
Agrecalc has released a UK specific N2O model which gives farmers new options when it comes to optimising fertiliser use. An upgrade to the calculator promises to unlock new opportunities in both emissions and cost savings for farmers.
The Agrecalc team is looking forward to welcoming you at our stand (517) at this year’s Low Carbon Agriculture Show, taking place on February 7 and 8, at NAEC Stoneleigh near Kenilworth.
Agrecalc is delighted to announce the appointment of its new Chief Executive Officer. Hailing from the private sector, Scott Davies brings a wealth of production and managerial leadership experience from a career in developing and growing successful technology-backed businesses.
In its drive to reach net zero, top 15 UK food company Moy Park has unveiled a pioneering five-year partnership with Agrecalc that will monitor and track greenhouse gas emissions in real time at individual farm level, across its entire farming base.
In today’s uncertain environment, which is coupled with ambitious legislative net zero targets (in Scotland by 2045), the agri-food sector is facing increasing demands to measure and monitor progress against carbon equivalent (CO2e) reduction targets.
Agrecalc’s partner, The Andersons Centre, is set to support ABP Food Group, one of Europe’s leading food processors, in delivering a unique sustainability programme which will endorse the processor’s beef and lamb suppliers. The carbon calculating software will provide scientific computations needed for carbon footprint assessment.
Scottish Government is currently developing a new programme of policies and payment schemes to replace the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).
Agrecalc continues to support the delivery of these programmes, having delivered previous Government farm carbon assessment services such as those through the Farm Advisory Service (FAS) and the Beef Efficiency Scheme (BES).
Soil sampling depth matters when it comes to Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) – as Agrecalc Head of Science, Rachael Ramsey explores.
