Making agriculture more sustainable.
Two new farmer-led groups are being established to develop advice and proposals to the Scottish Government on how to cut emissions and tackle climate change as reaffirmed in the recently published Climate Change Plan.
They will focus on the dairy and high nature value sectors. The Dairy Group will be chaired by Jackie McCreery, Director of the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland and the Royal Highland Educational Trust, with the Hill, Upland and Crofting Group (HUCG) being co-chaired by Martin Kennedy, Vice President of NFUS and Joyce Campbell, chair of Women in Agriculture taskforce.
