Notice Information

Notice Title

ELM Test & Trial - Net Zero

Notice Description

In an extensive test the NFU will work with circa 600 farmers and land managers through a series of workshops, surveys and 1:1 meetings to test at least one carbon calculator and two approaches to carbon-focussed land management planning, and provide evidence on the information and support required to enable farmers and land managers to develop LMPs and undertake carbon calculations. The test will explore how different approaches to advice and guidance impacts upon the development of a LMP and will provide a greater understanding of the gaps, drivers and barriers to unlocking behaviour change amongst farmers and land managers.
