The farming press is full of news and views on the drive for agriculture to achieve net-zero status by 2040. But what actually IS a carbon audit?

While clover is not the silver bullet to all our problems in the agricultural sector, it certainly has the potential to play a central role in making the farm system more efficient, productive, sustainable, and profitable. This is particularly true for grass-based livestock systems.

Agrecalc’s agricultural scientist Kaia Waxenberg has been shortlisted for prestigious Converge programme.

Agrecalc identified as the only carbon calculator with consultant capacity to offer mitigation recommendation.

It’s no news that recent months have seen fertiliser prices skyrocketing to wholly unprecedented levels, propelling a need to reduce fertiliser dependency in both the near and slightly longer term.

The Agrecalc team is looking forward to welcoming you at our stand (414) at this year’s Low Carbon Agriculture Show. Taking place on March 8 and 9, at NAEC Stoneleigh near Kenilworth.

Although livestock slurries are a valuable nutrient resource for arable fields and grasslands, they can also be the source of significant on-farm greenhouse gas emissions.

Greenhouse gases are emitted from various sources. When in the atmosphere, these gases trap solar radiation which would normally be released, and in doing so retains this radiation which has a warming effect on the atmosphere.

Farm carbon accounting is a challenge. Farmers, like society at large, are being faced with an ever-growing chorus of demands to reduce their carbon emissions.
