On this week’s podcast, Enda Buckley; Director of Sustainability at Carbery Group and Rachael Madeley-Davies; Head of Sustainability at Kite join hosts Will Evans and Ben Eagle to discuss a project aiming to deliver the first ever climate neutral dairy farm by 2027. After the usual milk market update from Chris Walkland, they discuss the UCD-led Farm Zero C project which was recently awarded 2 million Euro funding to support this and provide a blueprint to roll out across over 5000 other farms. It will use Shinagh Farm, owned by the farmers of Carbery group (4 West Cork Co-ops) as a demonstrator for this project, with the goal that the farm will be climate neutral by 2027. Enda and Rachael discuss current farm carbon performance, the areas of focus for improvements, key learnings so far and discuss how climate neutrality extends beyond carbon.
