As sustainability becomes increasingly central to agriculture, assurance schemes and codes of practice increasingly incorporate carbon footprints, biodiversity, and ecological measures. While this might seem daunting, it's important to view it positively, reducing emissions and carbon footprint often aligns with boosting profitability. Although this approach may introduce new metrics, the core management principles remain the same. Whether you're looking to provide data, improve cost control, increase output, or address underperformance, now could be the perfect time to assess your needs, seek guidance, and explore potential changes.
