Climate Change

Agriculture emits 7% of the total UK greenhouse gases.

It is important for growers to be aware of the major sources of emissions and how they may mitigate these.  It is equally important to understand how their businesses may be impacted by climate change and how they can adapt to the changing climate.

CC01 Arable farming and the changing climate: what will it mean, what can I do?
Responding to changing climate may be the key to future success in farming. 

HGCA is involved in a number of initiatives that aim to help growers understand how their businesses may be affected by climate change:

• Farming Futures
• Grain cooling and climate change
• HGCA R&D Conference 2008: Arable Cropping in a Changing Climate
• Research
• Greenhouse Gas Calculator
• Nitrous oxide focus group
