UK Climate Change Committee Assesses the Role of Agroecological Farming in the Transition to Net Zero

For the first time, UK policymakers are actively researching the potential for agroecology to help deliver net zero. In Spring 2022, the Climate Change Committee (CCC) commissioned the University of Aberdeen to review a range of agroecological farm practices – such as reduced and minimum tillage, leys, extensive livestock systems and cropping approaches – and assess their impact on GHG emissions, vegetation and soil carbon stocks, and changes to yields. Join Lord Deben, Chair of the CCC, and researcher Fabrizio Albanito, to discuss the findings and implications for farm policy and practice in the UK. The session is hosted by Lord Teverson, Co-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Agroecology.
