2026 Carbon Farmer of the Year Competition Is Now Open for Entries

Posted: 9th March 2026

Cotswold Seeds are proud sponsors and judges of the Farm Carbon Toolkit’s Carbon Farmer of the Year Competition. 

Carbon determines our global climate system. This is having increasing effects on how we live our lives and is shaping how we should conduct ourselves. There are means to adapt to climate change whilst remaining productive and profitable, but sometimes we need pioneers to guide the way.

The FCT’s 2026 Carbon Farmer of the Year Competition champions UK farmers who are leading the way in adopting farming practices and developing new technologies that reduce farm emissions – whilst optimising output and adapting to climate change.
