NFU asks farmers to pledge to make their farms net-zero by 2040

15.12.22

A sunny field — Farmers who pledge are entered into a monthly prize draw to win a solar light, which can be used as a handheld torch, a freestanding light or you can attach a strap (not included) and wear it as a head torch.

The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) are asking farmers to pledge to make their farms net-zero by 2040 for the chance to win a solar light.

More than 325 farmers have pledged so far. Devon is currently in the lead for most pledges by county at 31 as of December 2022.

The NFU provide guidance for farmers who are unsure where to start their net-zero journey here.
