Great atmosphere in the Great Hall @QUBelfast this evening as honorary Prof John Gilliland gives his inaugural lecture! Representatives from NI, UK & ROI agrifood industry, govt & academia are all in the room to hear Prof Gilliland’s suggestions 4 de-carbonising #agriculture ♻️

Very interesting to watch Professor John Gilliland's lecture this evening on his journey to making his farm #NetZero and what he's learned along the way @QUBIGFS @QUBelfast @farmersjournal

#carboncapture in soils, trees and other plants on farms hasn’t been sufficiently recognised in the push for #NetZero on farms, says Prof John Gilliland at his inaugural lecture @QUBelfast Measuring #GHGs on NI farms by creating baselines & continually monitoring is key, he adds

We’re looking forward to our partner Dr John Gilliland’s Inaugural Lecture ‘How do we get farms to #NetZero?’ this evening at 6pm hosted by @QUBIGFS @QUBbioscience - still time to register 👇
