We Need To Talk About... Net Zero

Host Will Evans is joined by Liz Bowles and Ben Taylor Davies to discuss this hot-button topic in British farming.

2nd October 2025

The ‘net zero’ drive has become a flashpoint for farming. British farmers will have to make radical changes to meet national targets for cutting emissions. But decarbonisation that treats agriculture like any other industry are switching off farmers and de-railing crucial action, not least for preparing for the changing climate. How can farming become part of the solution?

In this episode, Will’s joined by Liz Bowles and Ben Taylor Davies to discuss, amongst other things, some of the nuances of measuring emissions from farming, why net zero has become such a difficult thing to talk about, and how ultimately, reducing emissions and sequestering carbon on-farm will build a more resilient business.
