In this exclusive interview, Professor John Gilliland, OBE, speaks with Agrecalc on the ARCZero project in Northern Ireland, its journey from inception to the end of Phase one, and the lessons learned along the way.
This pioneering initiative set out to change farmers’ behaviour by empowering them with the results of measuring and benchmarking the GHG emissions of seven farms, by employing state-of-the-art forensic methods.
This allows them to simultaneously reduce emissions and build carbon stocks, showing how farmers can distinguish themselves as custodians of the nation’s carbon in the future.
