Sustainable farming practices put into action in Frodsham

A key part of the borough’s Land Action Plan is the adoption of low carbon farming practices and introducing land use solutions to help mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Action is already taking place across the borough, with landowners considering how their land can be managed in a way that reduces the amount of carbon emitted, supports nature and benefits the farming business.

Watch the video below to hear from one local farmer about some of the sustainable farming methods introduced on his farm in Frodsham.
