According to Government figures, 10% of the UK's greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture. But farmers and researchers across the country are trying all sorts of things to reduce those emissions.

Charlotte Smith visits a mixed farm in Oxfordshire, run by Adam Twine. He is the founder of the Farm Carbon Cutting Toolkit, which aims to help farmers reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. He is trying all sorts of things to reduce the emissions from his farm including feeding his livestock on forage rather than imported feed, using low emission fertiliser and building wind turbines and solar panels for renewable energy.

We have a report from a dairy farm using a special feed additive made from garlic and citrus which has cut their methane emissions by 30%. We also visit the James Hutton Institute in Scotland to hear about research in to reducing the use of nitrogen fertiliser.
