Reduced inputs on farms
Across our farms, we are reducing the inputs used, particularly artificial fertilisers which account for a very large proportion of our overall estate emissions.
This year we are running a number of different trials with our industry partners to test alternative ways of farming which will reduce our carbon footprint. These include trialling nitrogen use efficiency, using seaweed and bio stimulants as an alternative to artificial fertiliser, cultivation trials, blight resistant potato trails & also using lower carbon fertiliser.
