Latest news, views and updates from us here at SAOS.
Scottish farmers produce quality beef and lamb from the grass and rough grazing which make up around 80% of Scotland’s agricultural land which is not suitable for cereal, fruit or vegetable production.
Scotland’s grassland acts as a carbon sink and grazing animals provide habitats for wildlife and help to maintain the landscape.
Our CarbonPositive project is looking at gathering and using data in new ways.

Through a greater understanding of agriculture and climate change, we are working to drive positive change and to position farmers as a key part of the climate change solution.
