I'm just putting the finishing touches to a new resource. I started writing it back in 2019 would you believe? It's not that I've been working on it full stop for 4 years... although some of the projects I have in mind might take that long to produce. There are still a few remaining things to finalise before we can make it available as a free PDF download.
As part of the work, I came across an organisation called Fenland SOIL.
Fenland SOIL is a not for profit members organisation that aims to inform and develop ‘whole farm’ land use policies, aimed at achieving climate change mitigation and biodiversity enhancement in the Fens, and to help establish an agreed set of numbers for GHG emissions for deep, shallow and wasted peat soils.
Fenland Soil was formed in 2021.
A dedicated team - with farmers at its core Fenland SOIL was set up in 2021 as part of the work carried out by the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority’s Independent Commission on Climate as a dedicated team with farmers at its core to tackle climate issues relating to agriculture and peat in the Fens. We hope that by acting as a united front and showing pro-activity we will be able to positively influence and help shape policy so that it is fair and realistic for those that will be implementing it. We feel that ‘the best defense for farming is to stop being so defensive’.
