Shear waste: The market potential of organic wool from Wales

British wool prices have transformed in the past four years, reaching a record 25 year high in 2011. The British Wool Marketing Board, that handles almost the entirety of the UK wool clip, is confident that the strengthening market is an underlying, long term trend. Simultaneously, demand from manufacturers and consumers for materials that are natural, sustainable, environment-and welfare-friendly in origin, is strengthening. UK sales from the organic textiles sector alone is valued in excess of £100 million.

This report explores the growing markets for British wool and organic textiles, and seeks to understand why organic wool remains largely invisible and the sustainability of its associated business sector so fragile.

Making poultry feed more sustainable: Dehulling homegrown protien crops

If we can improve the nutritional value of some of our homegrown protein crops such as peas and beans, we may be able to reduce the amount of soya we buy in. One way to that is to remove the seed hulls, which reduce the quality and contain anti nutritional factors which impair digestion. This report looks at the dehulling process and its potential nutritional and economic benefits.

Carbon footprinting for farm businesses

As awareness of our impact on the environment has increased, it has become more important to measure and monitor that impact accurately. In this context, several calculators have been developed to assess the carbon footprint of farm businesses. However, there is little consistency between them in terms of either the methodology or the raw data on which the calculations are based, and this means they can give very different answers to the same question.
This document sets out to: develop a better understanding of how footprinting calculators work; explain how and why they differ from one another; highlight the issues to consider when choosing the most appropriate calculator for a particular farm or purpose; summarise the key features of the main calculators currently in use.

Shear waste: The market potential of organic wool from Wales

British wool prices have transformed in the past four years, reaching a record 25 year high in 2011. The British Wool Marketing Board, that handles almost the entirety of the UK wool clip, is confident that the strengthening market is an underlying, long term trend. Simultaneously, demand from manufacturers and consumers for materials that are natural, sustainable, environment-and welfare-friendly in origin, is strengthening. UK sales from the organic textiles sector alone is valued in excess of £100 million.

This report explores the growing markets for British wool and organic textiles, and seeks to understand why organic wool remains largely invisible and the sustainability of its associated business sector so fragile.

Making poultry feed more sustainable: Dehulling homegrown protien crops

If we can improve the nutritional value of some of our homegrown protein crops such as peas and beans, we may be able to reduce the amount of soya we buy in. One way to that is to remove the seed hulls, which reduce the quality and contain anti nutritional factors which impair digestion. This report looks at the dehulling process and its potential nutritional and economic benefits.

Carbon footprinting for farm businesses

As awareness of our impact on the environment has increased, it has become more important to measure and monitor that impact accurately. In this context, several calculators have been developed to assess the carbon footprint of farm businesses. However, there is little consistency between them in terms of either the methodology or the raw data on which the calculations are based, and this means they can give very different answers to the same question.
This document sets out to: develop a better understanding of how footprinting calculators work; explain how and why they differ from one another; highlight the issues to consider when choosing the most appropriate calculator for a particular farm or purpose; summarise the key features of the main calculators currently in use.
