Objective – Increase carbon sequestration
Certain changes to the management of some of the land at Carbeth have the potential to simultaneously reduce the carbon emissions associated with the sheep, improve their welfare, increase carbon sequestration, and support greater biodiversity.
Objective – increase biodiversity
Much has already been achieved over the last 20 years to support biodiversity at Carbeth, and now we want to go much further, to promote and maintain healthy, sustainable and diverse ecosystems.
Objective – build a business & create sustainable livelihood opportunities
This project is driven by three people, none of whom were born in to a life of farming, but who share an optimism, creativity and entrepreneurial vision for the future of the farm.
A Project of its Time
We believe our small farm can generate income and employment, can make a contribution, however small, to reversing climate change and species loss, and could improve the physical and mental wellbeing of many people.
