Our climate is changing and agriculture has a real opportunity to be a part of the solution. Heard about the role agriculture plays in being a source of emissions and an opportunity to sequester, but not sure about why it is important, how the carbon cycle works or how to calculate and manage emissions on your farm? This course provides an insight into defining carbon and greenhouse gas emissions and an understanding how you, your business or that of your client’s, can benefit from putting a focus on carbon and contributing to net zero with positive benefits on productivity and profitability from greater efficiency.
