A partnership of agricultural, environmental and governmental bodies, promoting good environmental management through productive farming practices.
Championing the Farmed Environment is a partnership which supports farmers to deliver environmental benefits within a productive farm business.
We provide guidance and support to allow more farmers to manage their land in a way which works for their business and the environment.
We promote and celebrate the work that many farmers already do to sustain and improve the natural environmental on their farm.
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.
The NFU represents more than 46,000 farming and growing businesses. Our purpose is to champion British agriculture and horticulture, to campaign for a stable and sustainable future for British farmers and to secure the best possible deal for our members. We strive to protect and promote British farm life and give our members a voice now and in the future.
Natural capital refers to the stock of natural resources and ecosystems that provide essential benefits and services to agriculture. In the context of farming, natural capital encompasses the fertile soil, clean water, biodiversity, pollinators, and healthy ecosystems that play a crucial role in sustaining crop and livestock production. These natural assets are the foundation of agricultural sustainability, productivity, and resilience.
This page is to connect organisations, projects and resources that have an interest in improving the quality of our water sources.
Ahead of COP27 in Egypt, Countryside COP will once again be held in October to allow the rural community to come together and showcase the opportunities available and the contribution already being made to reach Net Zero.
Help us collate the knowledge sources, organisations and initiatives out there that are seeking to improve the farmed environment
Farming is intricately connected to the environment in various ways. The relationship between agriculture and the environment is a critical aspect of modern farming practices.
