Farming and Sustainability in Scotland

Wed 9th Oct, 7-8.30pm, online.

This event will be an introduction to farming practices, policy and sustainability in Scotland. This will be delivered by Scotland’s Rural College (SRUC) researchers who work both with the science behind farming practices and climate impacts, and with farmers. They will give a presentation that provides an overview of the emissions from farming practices, developments around agricultural policies that support more sustainable land use and the challenges around a transition to more sustainable practices. There will be plenty of space for questions and discussion following the presentation. If you are new to the subject or familiar with it, please come along, ask questions and share your thoughts.
