The Government’s legally-binding target of net zero carbon by 2050 has huge implications for farming and land management in the UK. In this session, experts from all sides of the debate will interrogate exactly what net zero means for farmers and land managers on the ground.

Discussion will range from the science that underpins net zero, to the politics behind the ambitious target, the policies we will need to make it a reality and the pioneering action some farmers are already taking. This session will be followed by a lunchtime session (in the Long Room) where farmers will be invited to take part in facilitated discussions, tailored to their specific farm context, about practical action they can take on their farm right now to tackle emissions and store carbon.
