Strategy4.7aPlease provide details of your climate actions in the Agriculture sector.4Action description1Improve capacity of farmers and rural organizations (e.g. educating farmers of innovative and cost-effective measures, providing financial support, developing farm level carbon footprint)The Scottish Government published it’s Climate Change Plan update (CCPu) in December 2020 which sets out a pathway to transform Scottish agriculture as part of Scotland’s net zero climate targets. The Scottish Government committed to a range of actions which will support improving the capacity of farmers and rural organisations.We continue to support farmers through the provision of advice and knowledge transfer, promotion of best practice and last year provided offers of almost £18m to over 3,700 applications to the pilot Sustainable Agricultural Capital Grants Scheme which will help farmers to invest in specific items of agricultural equipment to support them in the delivery of direct and indirect greenhouse gas reductions.The Farm Advisory Service (FAS) provides high quality advice for farmers, land managers and crofters that will help them to ensure their businesses are ready to meet the challenges of the future, including a range of support around climate mitigation and adaptation and wider environmental issues and well as support around business resilience.•The Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund (KTIF) supports projects that introduce innovative approaches which enhance competitiveness; enhance ecosystems; promote resource efficiency; and, shift to low carbon climate resistant economy. It funds vocational training, skills development and knowledge transfer projects focused on agriculture/crofting and innovation projects including agricultural demonstration/benchmarking and experimental and/or pilot projects.••Farming for a Better Climate (FFBC), a Scottish Government funded initiative continues to promote practical and cost effective climate change mitigation and adaptation measures to farmers and land managers, alongside real time findings from the Farming for a Better Climate Soil Regenerative Agriculture Group. ••This work is ongoing and will be informed by the farmer led groups’ reports which were made available in March 2021, setting out a whole industry approach to tackling climate change and restoring and enhancing biodiversity within food production and farming. A revised Animal Health and Welfare Livestock Strategy is to be published in 2021.More info: FAO - http://www.fao.org/rural-institutions/en/ UN - http://www.un.org/en/ecosoc/docs/statement08/robert_watson.pdf

Strategy4.7aPlease provide details of your climate actions in the Agriculture sector.4Action description2Improve grasslands and cropland management (e.g. improve nutrient management, implement rotational or prescribed grazing methods)The Scottish Government published it’s Climate Change Plan update (CCPu) in December 2020 which sets out a pathway to transform Scottish agriculture as part of Scotland’s net zero climate targets. Five sector-specific farmer-led groups were established by the Scottish Government to provide advice and proposals on how to transform agriculture to meet Scotland’s climate targets, improve biodiversity and continue producing high quality food and their proposals are being considered by Scottish Government. They included growing more grain legumes in rotations, crop varieties with higher nitrogen-use efficiency and soil testing.FAS, KTIF and FFBC support the dissemination of information and advice to farmers. Under the KTIF, The East/West Beed Grazing Collaboration Pilot worked toward establishing evidence on the financial and environmental value of moving cattle to lower cost natural resources.Research on the potential for leguminous crops in Scotland was published in January 2021 and is available on www.climatexchange.org.uk It considered the climate mitigation potential of legumes within arable and grassland rotations and commented on the potential to reduce reliance on imported protein.The establishment of a Scottish National Nitrogen Balance Sheet, which is due to be set out in legislation by March 2022, will be a key step in building the evidence base around nitrogen use efficiency at the national scale. A public consultation on silage, slurry and anaerobic digestate storage and application was launched in January 2021 with the review of regulations expected to happen in 2021 which will improve the storage of and put in place requirements for precision application of liquid digestate and slurry.More info: Intechopen - https://www.intechopen.com/online-first/strategic-management-of-grazing-grassland-systems-to-maintain-and-increase-organic-carbon-in-soils

Strategy4.7aPlease provide details of your climate actions in the Agriculture sector.4Action description3Reduce methane emissions from manure (e.g. install dairy digesters)Support for improving slurry storage is available for farmers through the Agri-Environment Climate Scheme with £5m provided to over 130 businesses between 2017 and 2021. A further £2m support for improving the use and storage of manure and slurry was provided through the pilot Sustainable Agriculture Capital Grant Scheme.A public consultation on silage, slurry and anaerobic digestate storage and application was launched in January 2021 with the review of regulations expected to happen in 2021 which will improve the storage of and put in place requirements for precision application of liquid digestate and slurry. The establishment of a Scottish National Nitrogen Balance Sheet, which is due to be set out in legislation by March 2022, will be a key step in building the evidence base around nitrogen use efficiency at the national scale. Scottish Government has funded research on a comparative analysis of nitrogen accounting tools, the market potential for anaerobic digestion as a tool to manage slurry and farmyard manure arising from Scottish livestock farming and a feasibility study looking at slurry storage and the relative value of slurry management options for climate change mitigation.More info: Journal of Dairy Science - https://www.journalofdairyscience.org/article/S0022-0302(18)30939-1/abstract

Strategy4.7aPlease provide details of your climate actions in the Agriculture sector.4Action description4Reduce methane emissions from livestock digestive systems (e.g. feed management to improve productivity)In the CCPu, the Scottish Government committed to a range of actions to reduce emissions from red meat and dairy through improved emissions intensity. Scottish Government commissioned research on methane reducing feed additives and the emission intensity of Scottish agricultural commodities and the reports are available through ClimateXChange (https://www.climatexchange.org.uk)Over the past five years 105,360 unique genotypes that have been processed from the Scottish Government’s Beef Efficiency Scheme animals in an effort to encourage improved emissions intensity. There has also been a large amount of data recorded through the scheme, this includes calf and dam mortality, with calf mortality being recorded even if death occurs prior to registrations. This work is ongoing and will be informed by the farmer led groups’ reports which were made available in March 2021, including for dairy and suckler beef, setting out a whole industry approach to tackling climate change and restoring and enhancing biodiversity within food production and farming. A revised Animal Health and Welfare Livestock Strategy is to be published in 2021.More info: Journal of Animal Science and Technology - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6004689/ University of Reading - https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/climate-smart-agriculture/0/steps/26577

Strategy4.7aPlease provide details of your climate actions in the Agriculture sector.4Action description5Improve soil health/soil carbon sequestration capacityFFBC continues to promote practical and cost effective climate change mitigation and adaptation measures to farmers and land managers, alongside real time findings from the FFBC Soil Regenerative Agriculture Group. The farmer-led soil regenerative agriculture network continues to focus on positive actions that can be taken on Scottish farms to support, enhance and protect their soils. The group have trialled new approaches to allow them to improve production whilst delivering wider benefits such as building soil resilience, improving water retention, storing carbon and enhancing bio-diversity.FAS and KTIF support the dissemination of information and advice to farmers.The establishment of a Scottish National Nitrogen Balance Sheet, which is due to be set out in legislation by March 2022, will be a key step in building the evidence base around nitrogen use efficiency at the national scale.

53772902ScotlandUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern IrelandEurope4. Strategy4.7aPlease provide details of your climate actions in the Agriculture sector.4Action description6Promote other sustainable farming practicesThe Scottish Government published it’s Climate Change Plan update in December 2020 which sets out a pathway to transform Scottish agriculture as part of Scotland’s net zero climate targets. It has a wide range of policies to support sustainable farming practices including those which can increase carbon sequestration on agricultural land. Scottish Government has committed to explore how best to increase planting of trees and hedgerows which optimise carbon sequestration, the feasibility of payment for carbon sequestration taking into account any existing schemes such as the woodland carbon code as a means of encouraging the uptake of carbon sequestration on farms and options for land-use change to optimise uses beyond traditional farming and food production to multi-faceted land.A new demonstrator network of farms, crofts and estates across Scotland has been established to raise awareness of the multiple benefits that planting trees can bring to agricultural businesses.Scottish Government have also committed an additional £1.5 million (through the Agricultural Transformation Programme) to further support the integration of small woodlands on farmers and crofts across Scotland which will help to increase the levels of carbon sequestration delivery by our agricultural sector.Scottish Government has also committed to provide further advice for farmers and crofters who wish to retire by providing an opportunity to consider alternative land-uses or alternative agricultural uses.Five sector-specific farmer-led groups were established by the Scottish Government to provide advice and workable proposals on how to transform agriculture to meet Scotland’s climate targets, improve biodiversity and continue producing high quality food. These groups reported in March 2021 and their proposals are being considered by Scottish Government. By taking a co-development approach, the Scottish Government is putting a just transition at the heart of agricultural transformation.More info: UC Davis - http://asi.ucdavis.edu/programs/sarep/about/what-is-sustainable-agriculture IIED - https://www.iied.org/five-ways-make-farming-more-sustainable
