#30 – Carbon neutral farming – the path to ‘net zero’
The government has set a target of reaching ‘net zero’ in terms of greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and the NFU wants to see farmers reaching that target by 2040. But how are we going to get there? What is ‘net zero’ and what does it mean for farmers in Wales? To tackle these questions we catch-up with Hugh Martineau from Brecon, who is a part of a group of farmers who have come together to try and map out the path to ‘net zero’.

This episode focusses on the new environmental expectations of farmers in Wales particularly around the management of nutrients. From the 1st January 2020, new rules will be introduced to control when nitrogen and organic fertilisers are spread on the land, how much storage capacity is required for slurry as well as the need to prepare detailed plans and records.
In anticipation of these new rules, Farming Connect organised an event (in partnership with the AHDB) at Gelli Aur College Farm. One of the main speakers was a Dutch Nuffield Farming Scholar, Rick de Vor. Aled caught up with him during the day to learn more about how he’s adapted to farm within some very strict regulations over nutrient management and how he’s seen some benefits to his business.

Gan ragweld y rheolau newydd hyn, trefnodd Cyswllt Ffermio ddigwyddiad (ar y cyd gyda AHDB) ar Fferm Coleg Gelli Aur. Un o'r prif siaradwyr oedd yr Ysgolhaig Nuffield, Rick de Vor or Iseldiroedd.
