Creating a profitable and low carbon dairy farm

At Farming Futures we're often asked how dairy farmers can respond to climate change and remain profitable - so we ran an event to answer that question. Experts from the NFU, Dairy Co and Arla foods were all on hand to discuss the importance of low carbon farming practise with the 60 or so farmers who came along.

This short film gives you an idea of how Farming Futures events are run. We bring together farmers and other experts in the industry to encourage debate, discussion, problem solving and action. The film contains lots of interesting insights from the farmers who attended.
