Welcome to Insight Summer 2011, in this eupdate we focus on how organisations can make considerable savings and reduce their impact on the environment by simply making better use of their resources. In particular we review the key issues of water - availablity, scarcity, resource and quality - and their impact on wildlife, the environment and man.
James Clarke, Science and Business Development Manager for Soils, Crops and Water, outlines the importance of water availability when assessing the risk of food security.
Simon Groves, Principal Consultant, reviews why landowners need to prepare for unpredictable water supplies and ensure farms are prepared for future droughts.
Andrew Walker, Head of Animal Health and Welfare, looks at the importance of water availability for livestock businesses.
Adrian Collins, Head of Water Quality Science explains, using nitrate as an example, how modelling can help target management in catchments to reduce multiple pollutants.
Chris Fawcett, Head of Sustainability, looks at the issue of water scarcity and how water footprinting can improve supply chain management and reduce environmental impact.
At ADAS we consider the consequences of human activity on the environment and provide practical solutions to mitigate any negative effects of that activity, so it can be made as sustainable as possible to ensure the environment is protected. This eUpdate focuses on how ADAS is helping organisations cope with climate change and advising them on how to introduce practical, cost effective and sustainable mitigation strategies.We also look at the implications of the new ADAS Sustainable Livestock Group. It all leads back to our central theme of course – how ADAS examines the consequences of human actions and develops practical solutions to alleviate any negative effects so that we protect our environment for future generations.
