Climate Change

HGCA is working with Farming Futures in a project looking at farming and climate change.

Case studies have been written to show that growers can take advantage of climate change and are listed here.

Further information can be obtained at www.farmingfutures.org.uk

Focus on arable crops    (925kb)

Climate is a significant factor in determining plant growth and productivity. Although climate change presents opportunities for growers, it is essential to think carefully about crop management to achieve maximum value from yields in future years.

This document looks at key concerns, opportunities and challenges of climate change for arable farmers.

Case studies
These are specific examples of growers who have taken advantage of climate change. 

1. Focus on soil management    (1369kb), Jim Bullock, Worcestershire

4. Focus on energy crops    (1064kb), Robert Wiseman, Essex 

5. Focus on cover crops to reduce nitrogen fertiliser    (1051kb), David Jones, Oxfordshire

7. Focus on water conservation    (450kb), Julian Hasler, Gloucestershire
