North Wyke: the farm helping us study the impact of livestock farming

There's a lot of debate about how farming livestock for meat and dairy is affecting our planet. North Wyke Farm in Devon, run by Rothamsted Research, is helping to answer some of the biggest scientific questions about how we can feed the world sustainably.
Everything is monitored at North Wyke. Researchers can keep track of where the water goes and how clean it is, the farm's greenhouse gas emissions, the nutrients in its soil and more. This data is helping us answer questions like:
How can we minimise pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from livestock farming?
What will happen if traditional grazing lands are converted to crop production?
How can we optimise the type of farming we do in different parts of the UK to help us reach Net Zero?
In this video, we take a tour of some of the fascinating research taking place at North Wyke.
