Farming is often cited as a major contributor to climate change through impacts on global warming and the environment. As the global population increases past the 8 billion mark, the role of sustainable farming has never been so important. Farm vets as trusted advisors and advocates are integral to supporting sustainable and regenerative farming practices. Through their wide-reaching influence, farm vets can offer solutions and lead conversations championing a ‘less and better’ philosophy.
But what are the facts? It can be difficult for vets to navigate the complexity and conflicting information regarding this subject. Within the factsheet we outline some of the key considerations to inspire vets when approaching these conversations with farmers, and to act as a starting point towards encouraging a more regenerative mindset.
This free resource is specifically designed for large animal practitioners hoping to gain a wider understanding of the topic of sustainable farming. Covering a range of topics including animal welfare, water, soil, biodiversity and emissions, the factsheet discusses the challenges and solutions of each area.
