Addressing Emissions Requires Focus Beyond Renewables
While renewables are increasingly adopted by businesses and some farms are making strides in incorporating green technologies, a significant portion of on-farm emissions—approximately 70%—remains unaddressed. Current efforts primarily target renewable energy deployment and regenerative agricultural practices, yet emissions from fertilizers and livestock, particularly methane production, present substantial challenges. Unlike sectors that can more easily transition to renewable solutions, such as retail chains like Tesco, primary producers face complexities in implementing effective emission reduction technologies. A comprehensive understanding of these systems is essential for tackling emissions holistically, emphasizing the need for diverse technological approaches and consideration of biodiversity.
