Sequestering carbon by planting hedgerows

University of Leeds Hall: 2 Stand: 2.344

We found that planting hedgerows will contribute towards reaching net-zero targets, but the degree of this contribution will depend on how many hedges will be planted. Today, ~1780 km of hedges are planted in England every year. To reach the Climate change Committee goal of +40% hedgerow length, the rate of planting needs to increase fourfold.

The NFU is a proud partner of the show which is rapidly becoming a central event for low carbon farming. At a time when food and energy security are rightly high on everyone’s minds, the show provides targeted support for producing climate-friendly food, energy and fibre. There is a wealth of practical advice from experts on energy, environment, agri-tech and low emissions vehicles. It is an ideal opportunity for farmers to come together to explore opportunities and build resilient businesses.

I’m really impressed by the diversity of the audiences at LCA. There's a good mix of stalls and some are talking about really cool AgriTech, renewables, and massive power charges for vehicles.
