Our Croissants and Questions business breakfast series is designed for those seeking an informal networking experience, with attendees convening over fresh pastries and coffee to listen to an industry guest speaker.

This month our guest speaker is Becky Wilson from the Farm Carbon Toolkit who will discuss the carbon solutions that deliver performance and profit.

About our guest speaker

The Farm Carbon Toolkit was created by farmers for farmers. For over a decade, they have worked to further the understanding of greenhouse gas emissions in agriculture. They provide tools and services to measure environmental impacts and run projects with farmers that inspire action on the ground.

Becky Wilson

Becky joined FCT in January 2014.  Prior to this, Becky worked on the SWARM Knowledge Hub, a project tasked with helping farmers and growers across the South West manage their resources sustainably.  As part of the SWARM Hub project, Becky was part of the team that developed the Farm Crap App, a mobile phone app to help farmers calculate the nutritive value of livestock manures.

A passionate advocate for highlighting the economic benefits of sustainable farming, Becky currently divides her time between working for FCT and working for Duchy College Rural Business School as a technical specialist in resource management. In 2016 Becky was awarded a Nuffield Scholarship to study further how to communicate carbon reduction schemes to farmers, which has fed into her work at FCT and Duchy College.
