A Norfolk estate is trialling a liquid green fertiliser as an alternative to synthetic nitrogen products. The fertiliser is produced from organic waste and aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from farming while maintaining crop yields. Early results suggest it could cut carbon footprint significantly compared to conventional fertilisers. This trial is part of a broader push to decarbonise agriculture, where synthetic fertiliser accounts for a large share of emissions. If scaled, liquid green fertiliser could help farmers meet sustainability targets and access carbon credit markets. The article details the application methods and early agronomic performance. For those tracking low-carbon farming innovations, this is a concrete example of a product moving from lab to field. The key question is whether it can compete on cost and reliability at scale.
