It’s not enough to be local food suppliers, we also need to be actively green. As well as looking after farm biodiversity, we must tackle food waste and plastic pollution. But we have also pledged to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to Net Zero to help reverse climate change. We look at every area of the business and ask ourselves if we are being as energy efficient as possible. To reduce emissions, we are also switching to sources of renewable energy – and increasing the capacity of the natural carbon stores on our farm.
We look after our soils, trees and hedges, so the plants on our land are actively removing damaging carbon from the atmosphere.
