20/02/21 Farming Today This Week: Carbon offsetting, foot and mouth anniversary, rural services
Farming Today
Firms looking to offset their carbon emissions usually talk about planting trees, so the news that Microsoft is using Australian cattle ranches as carbon sinks has come as a bit of a surprise. But could it also be a pointer to a potential new source of income for British farmers?
