We are a not-for-profit members’ organisation dedicated to shaping whole-farm land use policies that cut greenhouse gas emissions, enhance biodiversity and support food production in the Fens.
Combining nature and conservation to allow a holistic view of land use across the Fens.
Establish agreed figures for emission factors from deep, shallow and wasted peat.
Evaluate long term mitigation of how meeting Net Zero can affect business and the Fen Economy.
Fenland SOIL was established in 2021 as part of the work of the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority’s Independent Commission on Climate, bringing together a dedicated, farmer-led team to address the climate challenges facing agriculture and peat soils in the Fens. By acting as a united and proactive voice, we aim to positively influence and help shape policy so that it is fair, realistic, and workable for those implementing it on the ground. As we like to put it, “the best defence for farming is to stop being so defensive.”
