Projects
Our projects:
AssureWel
The AssureWel project will develop a field-tested framework that fully embeds welfare outcome assessment into inspections and standards development within UK and European farm assurance schemes. The multi-species five-year (2010–2015) project is led by the University of Bristol, RSPCA and Soil Association, and has collaborative links with several industry bodies including the Red Tractor Farm Assurance scheme, Quality Meat Scotland, and UK Organic Certifying Bodies.
Low carbon farming
The Low Carbon Farming project will be working with farmers and growers to provide expert advice and technical guidance on carbon footprinting and low carbon farming practices as well as energy production and efficient resource use. Reducing your carbon footprint goes hand in hand with improving efficiency and careful farm management which carries not only environmental benefits but financial ones too. The project is here to support and guide farmers in tackling the challenging task of reducing carbon emissions and improving the sustainability of farm businesses.
