Description
What is a Carbon Audit? How can I complete one for the Whole Farm Plan? Why would I do this? Is there any benefit to my croft? The first part of this workshop will be a tutorial looking at the different free carbon audit tools recommended by Scottish Government for completing your carbon audit. We are really keen to hear what your experiences of these tools are and we welcome comments and questions in advance of the workshop so that we can do our best to answer them on the day! This will be followed by a general discussion/Q&A about carbon audits and how you can use the information from them to benefit your croft business. Spaces for this event are limited to maximise the opportunities for you to ask questions about your specific circumstances. This workshop is 75% subsidised through the SRDP Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund (KTIF), funded by Scottish Government. Our panel will once again be ably led by Donald MacKinnon
