Welcome to "We Need to Talk About Farming" – a new spin-off series from myself Will Evans and the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission.

There's a lot of noise in farming right now. For many, the future feels uncertain. This series is about having better conversations about the biggest issues facing agriculture. In each episode, we'll take on a topic that's making headlines and dividing WhatsApp groups. We'll go beyond the buzzwords, cut through the cliches, and work out what really matters.

In this episode we're talking about NET ZERO with Ben Taylor-Davies and Liz Bowles. 

The 'net zero' drive has become a flashpoint for farming. British farmers will have to make radical changes to meet national targets for cutting emissions. But decarbonisation that treat agriculture like any other industry are switching off farmers and de-railing crucial action, not least for preparing for the changing climate. How can farming become part of the solution?
