Climate Smart Farming involves adapting agricultural production practices to increase farm business resilience in the face of climate change. It also includes adoption of practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and sequester carbon in the soil as the farming industry progresses towards the achievement of net zero greenhouse gas emissions.
The Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE) is an independent charity and membership organisation dedicated to supporting the progression of knowledge and innovation within the agricultural community.
RASE promotes the development of science, technology and practice of agriculture, forestry and related activities, such as farm-based renewable energy. As knowledge in these areas develops, improved methods, processes and practices can be identified, and our work focuses on ensuring farmers have access to the information they need to make informed decisions about the management of their farm business.
Our membership community includes farmers, industry participants and researchers, all of whom have an interest in new ideas, technologies and solutions which can enable the progression of agriculture. We provide opportunities for our members to come together, both in-person and virtually, to explore the potential agricultural solutions, technologies and practices which can help farm businesses, people and wider communities to thrive.
Members can also access an always growing library of online resources, which includes reports, archive materials, videos and podcasts.
