AFBI Open days to include a showcase of Biomass Crops for Resilient and Climate-Proof Farming

AFBI开放日包括展示用于弹性和气候适应农业的生物质作物

AFBI, Hillsborough will open it’s doors to the farming community on 18 and 19 June to showcase how the latest AFBI research underpins future sustainability of our industry.

AFBI，希尔斯堡将于6月18日和19日向农业社区敞开大门，展示AFBI的最新研究如何支撑我们行业的未来可持续性。

The focus of these ‘Farming for the Future’ open days will be on Dairy systems on the 18 and Beef and Sheep systems on the 19, exploring how to drive reductions in carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus, while enhancing biodiversity and optimising productivity.

这些“未来农业”开放日的重点将是18日的乳制品系统和19日的牛肉和绵羊系统，探索如何推动碳、氮和磷的减少，同时增强生物多样性和优化生产力。

As climate change continues to challenge the agricultural sector, innovative solutions are needed to fortify farms against environmental shifts and market fluctuations. To help manage the challenge of climate change have you considered growing biomass crops? These offer a promising avenue not only for power and heat but for water quality protection, biodiversity, carbpon products, carbon sequestration, and livestock comfort and nutrition.

随着气候变化继续挑战农业部门，需要创新的解决方案来加强农场抵御环境变化和市场波动。为了帮助应对气候变化的挑战，您是否考虑过种植生物质作物？这些不仅为电力和热能，而且为水质保护、生物多样性、碳产品、碳封存以及牲畜舒适和营养提供了一个有希望的途径。

Biomass Connect (a research, demonstration and information platform for biomass crops funded through the DESNZ Net Zero Innovation Portfolio) and AFBI Hillsborough are pleased to invite farmers attending the upcoming “Farming for the Future” Open Days on the 18 and 19 of June to visit, explore and understand different biomass crop options.

Biomass Connect（一个由DESNZ Net Zero Innovation Portfolio资助的生物质作物研究、演示和信息平台）和AFBI希尔斯堡很高兴邀请参加即将于6月18日和19日举行的“未来农业”开放日的农民参观、探索和了解不同的生物质作物选择。

A team of seasoned growers, breeders, researchers, and advisors will lead participants on guided tours of the pioneering Biomass Connect plots within the farmed estate. These interactive sessions will offer insights on cultivation, husbandry, and the merits of the various biomass crop options.

一个由经验丰富的种植者、育种者、研究人员和顾问组成的团队将带领参与者在导游的带领下参观农场内开创性的生物质连接地块。这些互动会议将提供关于种植、饲养和各种生物质作物选择的优点的见解。

Attendees will discover how biomass crops can contribute towards climate-resilient farming strategies, mitigating the impact of unpredictable weather patterns and market volatility. Moreover, they will learn how integrating these crops into agricultural enterprises may contribute towards financial stability and support environmentally beneficial farming practices.

与会者将发现生物质作物如何有助于适应气候变化的农业战略，减轻不可预测的天气模式和市场波动的影响。此外，他们将学习如何将这些作物整合到农业企业中，有助于金融稳定和支持有益于环境的农业实践。

The Dairy Day on 18 June will have guided tours leaving every half hour from 10am to 2.30pm. The guided tours on the Beef and Sheep Day on the 19 June will leave every half hour from 1pm to 5.30pm. Each tour will last approximately 1.5 hours.
