GreenShed, which has received nearly £3 million in funding from the UK Government, will use cattle waste products to power a methane capturing system and grow indoor crops.

Led by SRUC and supported by partners at the University of Strathclyde, Agri-EPI Centre, No Pollution Industrial Systems Ltd, Galebreaker Agri, Organic Power Ireland, N2 Applied and Saturn Bioponics, the shed has been built at SRUC’s Easter Howgate farm.

It addresses the need for the livestock farming sector to reduce its GHG emissions while improving productivity, by developing an integrated low carbon, circular, cattle and vertical farming system, bolstering green technology for UK agriculture.

Following on from our Introduction to the GreenShed project podcast, find out more about how the technology will benefit farmers in the future in this new episode with Rosie Free and George Baikie as they discuss the project from a farmer's viewpoint.
