The ARCZero project represents a pioneering initiative in Northern Ireland's agricultural sector, aiming to revolutionize farming practices towards carbon neutrality. Led by a collaborative effort of farmers and supported by key stakeholders, including the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) Scheme, the project harnesses cutting-edge geospatial technologies like LiDAR and GPS soil analyses. By precisely measuring carbon stocks and emissions at the individual farm level, ARCZero empowers farmers to make informed decisions, paving the way for sustainable and environmentally responsible agriculture. This innovative approach not only addresses the pressing challenge of greenhouse gas emissions but also offers a pathway for enhancing productivity and resilience in the face of climate change.
