The Nitrogen Climate Smart(NCS) Project is a government-funded, farmer-led research project which aims to reduce carbon emissions across the agricultural sector by increasing UK-grown pulses, replacing imported soya (used for animal feed).
We are participating in this project as Pulse Pioneers, hosting on-farm trials to gather data on the benefits of including pulses in an arable rotation, and trialling new products and practices to improve the pulse crop itself.
You can find out more about the NCS Project here, and follow our progress on Instagram @lodgefarmessex.
