Visit The Garlic Farm Shop & Restaurant, in Newchurch, on Tuesday for presentations from industry experts Becky, Jess, and Neville, as they explore the symbiotic relationship between greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity, and profitable production.
Becky Wilson, of Farm Carbon Toolkit, will demonstrate a practical but powerful tool to measure on-farm emissions and dispel myths about carbon efficiency. Jess Brooks will highlight the urgent need for biodiversity protection as an integral part of agricultural success. Neville Smith, farmer at Compton and Idlecombe Farm, will share examples of balancing emissions and ecosystem services alongside production.
Whether you’re an active farmer, land manager, or simply interested in the food system, you are welcome to explore how agriculture can be part of the solution to achieving net-zero goals.
The evening starts at 8pm and is free to attend, though booking is essential via iw.observer/farm-net-positive.
