To assist growers at the start of their carbon reduction journey, crop carbon benchmarking network YEN Zero is back and open to all for 2022/2023.
With an initial focus on combinable and forage crops, the network helps growers to calculate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their crop production. Each grower is then benchmarked against other farms in the network so a fair and accurate picture can be drawn of how well they are performing.
On the back of knowing their emission calculations, growers will be offered bespoke mitigation strategies that have the most potential to reduce their on-farm emissions.
Participants can also be part of the network’s discussion workshops to gain and share knowledge regarding agricultural net-zero issues. Previous workshops have included discussion around the science and uncertainties of soil carbon sequestration and previously successful mitigation strategies.
YEN Zero is now accepting independent growers, as well as growers who wish to be supported by one of our network sponsors. Register your interest via https://www.yen.adas.co.uk/projects/yen-zero
YEN Zero is sponsored and steered by a number of organisations from across the agriculture industry who’s input into the network is invaluable, YEN Zero would not exist without them.
