An exciting opportunity has become available for a PhD or Master’s level candidate to contribute to the development of a scientifically verified carbon-efficient meat protein product range. This post has been created as a result of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Lancaster University’s Environment Centre and offers a 24-month fixed term contract.

You will lead a project which aims to develop a viable route map for progressing towards a net-zero meat product for selected case study farms that supply Lake District Farmers Ltd (LDF) and to highlight the use of livestock production in creating sustainable and regenerative environments. The project will establish a soil carbon baseline for selected case study farms, examine the carbon reduction potential within farms that includes soil carbon, and co-create a farm level accounting framework in which to understand the financial, and non-financial, impacts of moving towards net-zero.
