Peter hears more from last week's guest Professor John Gilliland about the ARC Zero Project in Northern Ireland.
ARC Zero started as a European Innovation Partnership (EIP) Operational Group made up of a co-operative of 7 farms in Northern Ireland.
It sought to measure and manage carbon flows at the individual farm level to empower farmers to make positive change towards carbon zero farming.
Make sure you listen to episode 9 to get the most from this bonus episode.
Farming Focus is the podcast for farmers in the South West of England, but is relevant for farmers outside of the region or indeed anyone in the wider industry or who has an interest in food and farming.
