The farm businesses of the future must optimise food production, farm profitability, the environment and people. The RASE Farm of the Future initiative, which is delivered in partnership with Innovation for Agriculture, identifies and shares agricultural solutions, technologies and practices which can help farm businesses, people and wider communities to thrive.
Farm resilience is now inseparable from climate change mitigation and adaptation. Climate Smart Farming will be core to future food production and farm business sustainability.
The groundbreaking report from the Royal Agricultural Society of England sets out the practical steps which can be taken to decarbonise the agricultural industry, while keeping food production the number one priority.
Climate Smart Farming involves adapting agricultural production practices to increase farm business resilience in the face of climate change. It also includes adoption of practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and sequester carbon in the soil as the farming industry progresses towards the achievement of net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
The Royal Agricultural Society of England is an independent charity and membership organisation dedicated to supporting the progression of knowledge and innovation within the agricultural community.
RASE focuses on ensuring farmers have access to the information they need to make informed decisions about the management of their farm business. Joining as a member will provide access to additional Farm of the Future resources, along with the opportunity to attend membership events, farm walks and access to an online library of archives and resources.
