Farming in a Changing Climate: Agriculture in Northumberland

Northumbrian farming landscape

Northumberland County Council and the Rural Design Centre are working to identify and address the non-technical barriers to reducing emissions across agriculture and forestry in Northumberland. 

This Innovate UK funded project will co-develop proposals, led by insight from farmers, stakeholders and supply chains to help inform future council policy and support.

If you are from a farming or allied business, and whatever stage of a decarbonisation journey you are on, we would love to hear from you. You can fill out a brief survey on this link https://nland.cc/ruralsurvey , phone 01661 721001or email agriculture@northumberland.gov.uk if you have any queries about the project.

We shall be holding a Rural Conference - Farming in a Changing Climate - at Kirkley Hall, Northumberland on the 9th October 2024. Join us to take part in discussions and hear from expert speakers on some of the key issues facing Northumberland’s agricultural sector in transitioning towards more sustainable and resilient farming practices.
