Hedgerows and mob grazing: Can farming fix its carbon black hole?

Scottish farmers explore hedgerows and mob grazing to combat carbon emissions. Farmers like Johnnie Balfour opt for carbon-negative practices by using mob grazing techniques to manage cattle outdoors efficiently. Despite recommendations to reduce livestock numbers, some farmers, like Denise Walton, advocate for hedgerow expansion to absorb carbon and support wildlife. As Scotland aims for net-zero emissions by 2045, alternative methods like planting trees and hedgerows play a crucial role alongside traditional farming practices.
