Climate thinking How farms are integrating climate change into their plans

With increasing attention on farming’s role in addressing climate change, there's a growing demand for farmers to demonstrate how they are reducing farm emissions while increasing carbon storage on their land.
But amidst a breadth of conflicting advice and often confusing data collection, getting started on the process can be daunting. What is clear, however, is the need for farmers to urgently begin integrating climate mitigation and adaptation into their businesses.
This session brings together members of the Nature Friendly Farming Network to discuss how farmers can deliver ambitious actions for climate change, bringing numerous benefits to both their businesses and nature.
This session will demonstrate how farms can:
- Begin to understand their carbon footprint
- Take action while avoiding trade-offs for biodiversity and profitability
- Use climate adaptation to become more resilient to the impacts of a warming climate
The discussion will provide an opportunity to hear first-hand from farmers who have already integrated climate change into their businesses and to hear the wealth of benefits from doing so.
Panellists:
David Lord, arable farmer
Debbie Wilkins, mixed farmer

This webinar is produced in collaboration between the Nature Friendly Farming Network and the National Trust.
