Rapid Evidence Assessment in Pork, Potatoes and Protected Horticulture

The aim of this project is to conduct REAs for net-zero carbon practices applicable to pork, potatoes and protected horticulture, to provide AHDB with an overall picture of the evidence landscape. Objectives: To provide REAs on practices that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon storage and develop proxies for quality of the evidence; To translate REAs into narrative summaries for each practice that can be presented to farmers and growers through EFI; To outline existing evidence syntheses and the nature of these syntheses, as well as to identify gaps in the evidence-base as a focus for further research priorities; To outline where there are future data developments and technologies that may give greater insights than current research and data methods may facilitate.
To provide feedback on AHDB’s ‘organising framework for evidence’ and ‘generation and application of evidence standards’ working drafts.
