If you can produce more whilst emitting less you could save costs as well as reducing the carbon footprint of the farm business.
Farm‑level emissions come from a range of sources, including:
- Use of fossil fuels
- Manufactured inputs
- Manure
- Animal digestion processes
- Cultivation of soils
- Changes in land use and vegetation
A carbon audit will help you to identify your emission sources. You can then decide how you might be able to limit these while maintaining the productivity of your business.
