As part of our commitment in supporting farmers improve their efficiencies, Agrecalc featured recently in an episode of the Welsh farming programme, Ffermio. In this episode, an oversimplified statement challenged the results of our soil test carbon module which resulted in a net zero position for a farm featured in a previous episode. This article clarifies our position.
We are proud to announce that the entire Agrecalc team has achieved Carbon Literacy certification. This important accreditation was awarded after in-depth assessments conducted by the environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful in collaboration with SAC Consulting (part of SRUC).
Setting up a living lab with coppice willow for cattle grazing is something relatively alien in the British farming landscape. Professor John Gilliland shares the experience he synthesised and put to practice on his farm, with an aim to understand how willow grazing decreases methane emissions from ruminants and delivers other benefits, such as reducing runoff risk and preventing erosion in riparian strips.
Choosing carbon footprint software to measure and monitor GHG emissions in agriculture is not an easy task.
At Agrecalc, we are often asked: “The carbon calculator market seems very confusing; can you simplify it for us and highlight some key starting points?”
In line with our commitment to further developing our company’s mission and vision, Agrecalc has aligned to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
More than two hundred people visited the stand for a chat and to see the demo of our cutting-edge platform-as-a-service, Agrecalc Cloud, making it the most successful event for Agrecalc so far.
The Agrecalc team is looking forward to welcoming you at our stand (216) at this year’s Low Carbon Agriculture Show, taking place on March 6 and 7, at NAEC Stoneleigh near Kenilworth.
Agrecalc has welcomed the DEFRA report – “Harmonisation of Carbon Accounting Tools for Agriculture – SCF0129″, as an important catalyst to improve consistency across farm carbon reporting tools.
The UK Department of the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) has awarded £3.3 million in funding to a major on-farm trial and research project that seeks to eliminate the dependence of UK grassland farming on applied nitrogen fertilisers, with carbon footprints on the technology to be evaluated by Agrecalc.
