Abstract
The Climate Change Committee has recommended a 64% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture and land-use sector to meet the 2050 Net Zero target in the UK. However, it is still unclear how this reduction can be achieved at a farm level. The aims of this study were to explore the opportunities available to reduce GHG emissions and enhance sequestration on Welsh beef and sheep farms. Using real farm data and novel modelling approaches, we investigated the management interventions and land use changes that would be required to deliver Net Zero.
