The Future Farm Vision by Richard Hooper emphasizes the importance of creating a sustainable farming enterprise that is ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially responsible. The purpose of the farm includes teaching, research, knowledge transfer, and wider participation with a focus on environmental sustainability. The goal is to achieve net zero by 2030 through enhanced animal breeding, reducing greenhouse gas production, improving soil health, and utilizing innovative practices. The farm groups aim to improve water and energy management, land, and soil health while promoting data collection and benchmarking for continuous improvement.
