Farm X Example – land use changes proposed

9

New woodland planted… …increased timber revenue …and higher woodland GHG sequestration

Change arable system to increase productivity to top 25%... …and switch to organic fertiliser… …and actively work to improve soil organic matter (SOM) Stopped grazing on some marginal land… …so decreased livestock output and rent… …and lower livestock GHG and N emissions
