Tuesday, 21 November – 9:00-10:30

To help growers calculate the carbon footprint of their crops and identify mitigation measures, the Yield Enhancement Network created a new farmer network called YEN Zero. YEN Zero provides analysis and benchmarking of combinable and forage crop carbon footprints on a per-field basis. Aimed at farmers and land managers, this webinar will:

  • introduce YEN Zero
  • explain why growers should benchmark their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions
  • help you identify agronomic practices for reducing GHGs associated with crop production

Net Zero

In 2015, the UK pledged to be Net Zero by 2050, with the NFU striving for the more ambitious target of 2040. Net Zero is achieved when the amount of greenhouse gases (GHG) emitted is balanced with those removed from the atmosphere. This helps to combat climate change and reduce global warming.

Climate Change

Climate change threatens our ability to ensure global food security, eradicate poverty and achieve sustainable development. In 2016, 31 percent of global emissions originating from human activity came from agrifood systems.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The key GHGs for agriculture that contribute directly to climate change are:  Carbon dioxide (CO2)  Methane (CH4)  Nitrous oxide (N2O)   All these GHGs are often grouped under the umbrella term ‘carbon’.
