Cawood renews partnership with Farmers Weekly Transition project
19th July 2022Cawood has renewed its partnership with the Farmers Weekly Transition project, an initiative designed to help farmers shift to sustainable farming practices.
‘We support Farmers Weekly in its aim to help secure a sustainable future for agricultural and farming businesses throughout the UK,’ said Rory Geldard, Commercial Manager at NRM.
‘This year, we’re taking on an increased level of participation, which will allow us to share our expertise with an even larger audience. Cawood Agriculture delivers a wide variety of expert analytical services to farmers, landowners and their advisors, lots contributing to regenerative agriculture. For example, our soil organic matter analysis helps customers qualify for the Sustainable Farming Incentive, and CarbonCheck measures soil carbon levels and helps plan soil health improvements.’
To help farmers remain productive whilst shifting to sustainable farming practices, Farmers Weekly has been producing informative podcasts examining environmentally-friendly and sustainable farming methods and how to remain successful. A series of expert webinars and regular news roundups including Transition Specials are also available to help farmers stay up-to-date with the latest news and take advantage of the knowledge that has been pooled together by the industry.
‘Sharing knowledge and ideas that work makes a big difference to the industry’, continued Rory. ‘Information shared through the Transition activity will improve resilience, biodiversity, air and water quality, and carbon sequestration.’
‘Agriculture is in a unique position to protect and benefit the environment by adopting sustainable farming practices,’ said Sean Stevenson, Divisional Managing Director, Agriculture. ‘The Transition project is doing a fantastic job in helping farmers learn how to shift to sustainable farming practices without taking a hit to their productivity and profitability. We are proud to be a sponsor, as it reflects our commitment to increasing awareness of regenerative agriculture and helping farmers achieve it whilst supporting their own businesses.’
