Farming For A Better Climate - 5 Key Action Areas 
The Scottish Government's aim is to suggest ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions whilst strengthening farm businesses to make them more resilient to climate change.
The suggestions are based on the following key prinicples
- Ensuring that resources used in farm businesses are put to the best possible use
- Taking the most cost effective steps first
- Minimising waste
- Developing new business opportunities where these could help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
In developing Farming for a Better Climate the Scottish Government has looked at a number of practical measures that can be implemented on farm to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The aim is to suggest measures that will help farmers make more efficient use of their resources and have a positive impact on the farm business bottom line. Farmers may be able to adopt one or a number of the measures outlined, or they may have ideas and techniques of their own.
