Farming is responsible for 7% of the UK’s green house gas emissions. Which is why we’ve spent the last year raising awareness of climate change with farmers and land managers through our Farming Futures project – and why we’ll be continuing this work with the help of a further £250K from Defra to fund it for another 18 months.

Farming Futures is a collaboration between the big beasts of the farming world - the NFU, CLA, Agricultural Industries Confederation, Defra and the levy boards - helping farmers and land managers tackle the challenges of climate change and look towards the opportunities it could offer in the years ahead.

Farming experts provide advice on adaptation and mitigation and pioneering farmers who have already started growing crops like olives, almonds and apricots are sharing the lessons they've learned with the wider farming community.

We co-ordinate the project, and our Green Futures team have produced a great special report on the subject - Feeding the Future.
