Description

This work will develop GHG mitigation strategies for the English agricultural sector that reflect the ambitions set out in the Clean Growth Strategy (BEIS 2017), but include wider impacts of measures by considering them through the lens of sustainable intensification. It will directly examine proposals set forth in the 25 Year Environment Plan (2018) and "Health and Harmony" command paper (2018), alongside more established productivity measures. The work will include consideration of system-wide interventions such as agro-ecological and afforestation approaches. In particular this work will give greater consideration to the social dimension and will engage farmers and industry stakeholders to better understand the opportunities and barriers for progress in reducing agricultural GHG emissions in England.
