Impacts of farming: balancing food production with nature Habitat and biodiversity Carbon and climate change Nitrates

Carbon: keep it in the ground Building up soil carbon Woodland Hedgerows Grass No-till Composting Maintaining soil carbon Crop rotations

Nitrogen – keeping an eye on nitrates

Nitrate pollution of waterways

Nitrate Vulnerable Zones NVZ plans 'will hit Pembrokeshire food output’ Jeffrey and Elinor Evans say the reality of an NVZ would be fewer cows on their Pembrokeshire holding. Western Telegraph, 13 October 2016

Nitrate trading? Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) would allow farmers to be paid for reducing their nitrate output and protect Milford Haven EU-funded project involving Pembrokeshire Coastal Forum Will include schools work from 2018

Field work Carbon Composting – different mixes of greens and browns, temperature and volume changes looking at humus on woodland floor and in soils Role of earthworms in decomposition Nitrates Nodules on clover and other legumes Composting – greens are high in N
