Independent Inquiry Farming 1.5 A positive pathway for farming and food production Building consensus -Nourish Scotland

Climate Change- THE PRIORITY of our age? Sustainable use of resources ; biodiversity Reduction of Inequality Available and affordable food CLIMATE CHANGE -1.5

Independent Inquiry Farming 1.5 terms of reference FOCUS – CLIMATE CHANGE A POSITIVE PATHWAY FOR FARMING and FOOD PRODUCTION to Zero Carbon 2045 Holistic approach BIODIVERSITY LANDSCAPE COMMUNITIES RURAL ECONOMY TO BUILD CONSENSUS -Science, Economics, Environmental NGOs, Farming/Land Managers, Nourish

Affordable food and biodiversity in 2045? Available food- carbon efficiency Bio-diversity – carbon efficiency Balmford and Garnsworthy – study of low and high intensity systems Dr Cristina Banks-Leite- study Atlantic forest, Brazil -2017 Cereals, rice, dairy – Europe, Asia and America Minimum forest cover to maintain bio-diversity 30% High intensity/high yields lower carbon cost- increased output Min of Environment accept target for restoration and planning [12mha] Focus on smart systems Agri holdings – 30% wild land NOT BUSINESS as USUAL- high yield, bio and economic efficiency create space for wilderness Agri holdings – low carbon beef brand being developed Organic bodies believe low intensity approach can support biodiversity Brazil target 43% cut in Emissions 2030 but – 46% emissions due deforest 2017 U of Camb, Nottingham Uni, Imp College London

Independent Inquiry; Farming 1.5 Change – what producers need? FAIR CARBON ACCOUNTING STANDARDS SUITE OF LOW CARBON MANAGEMENT OPTIONS [case studies] CLEAR ACHIEVABLE TARGETS-[ joined up regulation/support/market ] OPEN DOOR FOR AGRICULTURAL BUSINESSES TO ADOPT DIVERSE CARBON STRATEGIES TO SUPPORT ACTIVITY [renew e, sequestration] SUPPORT FOR INVESTMENT IN LOW CARBON PRODUCTION SYSTEMS AND FARM WASTE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT FOR RESEARCH THAT DEVELOPS BIOLOGICAL EFFICIENCIES, CARBON CAPTURE and SEQUESTRATION A FUTURE ; A VIABLE MARKET FOR LOW CARBON FOODS – PROTECTION FROM CONVENTIONAL PRODUCTION [IMPORTS] ?
