Carbon navigator reminder

Farmers partaking in the Beef Data and Genomics Programme (BDGP) are required to submit a carbon navigator each year during participation in the scheme. Applicants must complete a carbon navigator by October. This can be done using an online farm management package, produced by Bord Bia and Teagasc, which quantifies the environmental gains that can be made on each applicant’s holding by setting targets in key areas, such as grazing season length. Applicants should visit the ICBF website for information and the data can be uploaded online through the farmer’s own ICBF log-in and follow on to the carbon navigator section.
