“You have until the 4th July to get your entry in. Liz Bowles, Chief Executive Officer at Farm Carbon Toolkit says,
We see this event as a great opportunity to showcase and celebrate all the ways in which farmers are already changing farming practice to respond to the need to reduce emissions and build on-farm carbon within resilient farm businesses and transition to a nature friendly decarbonisation of agriculture.”
