This Eastern England launch workshop for the new BBSRC Land Use for Net Zero Footprint project (2024-2027) that aims to develop and evaluate a scalable auditable farm- and food-level greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting framework for UK land use. The project involves five research institutions, three GHG calculator companies, and Savills.
Aims
- to provide information about the objectives and scope of the LUNZ Footprint project
- to provide an overview of how the three major farm GHG calculators are working together
- to engage the farming and wider stakeholder community to understand different perspectives and support the development of a robust workable framework
Who should attend?
This is an in-person insight meeting for stakeholders within travelling distance of Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é in Bedfordshire. It is for farmers, land managers, advisers, land agents, regional stakeholders from policy, and supply chain representatives who are interested/involved in greenhouse gas assessment on UK farms.
Why attend?
- Do you want to understand more about farm GHG accounting?
- Do you want to hear how the three major farm GHG calculators are working together to make GHG accounting easier for farmers?
- Do you want to be part of the farming and stakeholder community who will participate in and help shape this project?
