The UK-DCN project is focused on six key areas with proven potential to reduce emissions. By demonstrating approaches that deliver results on real farms, the project aims to show how GHG reductions can go hand-in-hand with improvements in efficiency and productivity.
Each participating farm receives personalised support, including a tailored implementation plan that suits their system, local climate and geography. The project will also create opportunities for shared learning through events such as farm walks, open days and peer-to-peer exchanges – giving farmers a chance to learn directly from one another.
The project goal is to share the results widely and accelerate the adoption of GHG-reducing practices that benefit both the environment and the long-term sustainability of UK dairy farming.
As part of the project, AgriSearch are responsible for the NI Farm Network, working alongside AHDB who manage a further 3 Farm networks in GB, as well as communication and knowledge exchange.
