The Sustainable Farming and Food Strategy (SFFS) has been renewed for a further three years, with the publication of Facing the future by Defra.
The report sets out the key areas that will be taken forward as part of the Strategy. These include improving the environmental performance of farming and sustainable consumption and production.
Incidentally the report states that the UK agricultural sector accounts for 7% of the UK's GHGs. This figure does not include the CO2 and N20 generated during the course of manufacturing fertilisers (although it does include soil N20 from natural processes and the application of fertilisers). If fertiliser inputs are added on the figure is higher at just over 8%.
