Hello everyone, **not spamming but was suggested to move to this thread**
I wondered if anyone had any contacts for livestock farmers in England who are actively trying to achieve 'net zero' in their farming business. I'd like to chat with them about what they think the benefits are in doing this, what are the barriers, and how their business practices align with supporting government environmental ambitions. I'd also like to speak with farmers who are critical of net-zero and new environmental legislation- tbh on our farm we are not actively doing anything to meet net-zero, other than compliance with schemes but I know this varies around the country.
This is part of a research project I am working on at Leeds university. We are putting together a brief highlighting current farmer views and concerns. So your input could feed into policymaking. It would be great to arrange some interviews with those interested so I could formally collect some data and air farmer views and concerns.
Yorkshire, Cumbria and Exmoor regions are the areas under study but we would still welcome views from those further afield.
Kind regards,
Peter.
