The Science Explained
The science behind climate change and greenhouse gas emissions can be confusing and rightly so - there are some very complex processes involved. The processes by which greenhouse gases are produced from farms are particularly complex and hard to visualise . So, we've taken some of the key processes you should know about and turned them into diagrams to help you understand them better. If you have a bit more time on your hands it is worth having a look at a recent overview paper 'Climate change - a brief introduction for scientists, engineers or anyone else who has to do something about it', written by David Jenkinson of Rothamsted Research.

Nitrogen cycle of a farm
The nitrogen cycle is one of nature's most crucial gifts, without it life would not exist and your farm would be lifeless. Take a look at how this cycle works and how it affects you.
Carbon cycle of a farm
The carbon cycle is one of nature's most crucial gifts, without it life would not exist and your farm would be very inefficient. Take a look at how this cycle works and how it effects you.
Greenhouse Gases Explained
You can be part of the solution by taking some simple steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Use this interactive guide to find out more about where they're being emitted on your farm and what you can do about it.
