The NFU supports the adoption of Global Warming Measurement metric for farmers to accurately measure and monitor their greenhouse gases

Bayer’s global Carbon Programme aims to help and link the supply chain from farm to fork, and to provide common, consistent standards and measurements.

Soil is a critical part of your farm’s carbon footprint, but what are the core principles involved, and what is and is not possible in terms of soil and carbon?

Essex farmer Ben Sell has been at the forefront of the evolution of the methane power tractor revolution from New Holland.

A methane-powered revolution is underway in Cornwall, which will give vehicles and even farms total energy independence.

This summer Kent farmer Doug Taylor reaped the rewards of a long-term project to increase soil organic matter and now plans to take his soil and carbon even more seriously.

Three UK farmers involved in the Bayer Carbon Programme are looking forward to finding out more about their farms and carbon.

Sharply escalating costs for fertiliser and fuel, coupled with extremes of weather, mean there has never been a better time to look at your farm’s carbon footprint.

Easy-to-use IT means it is now straightforward to see the impact changes in practices might have on your farm.

The chemical element carbon has some notable properties. It exists in pure form but also combines with other elements to form more compounds than all other elements combined.
