Regardless of a farmer’s motivation for engaging with climate action, most farms will require support to enable meaningful change. These investments improve efficiency, reduce emissions and support productivity, with grant aid of 40%, rising to 60% for young, female and organic farmers. These measures support carbon sequestration, enhance biodiversity and reduce risks to water quality. The Organic Farming Scheme supports conversion to organic production, helping to reduce emissions through lower input use and enhanced biodiversity. The question for every farm business is simple: Are you taking full advantage of the supports and services available to you?
