Forward-Thinking Farming with Kay Croots

<p>It’s no secret that agriculture is having a massive impact on our planet. In fact, the farming sector accounts for around 10% of all UK emissions. Lowering this carbon footprint requires a change in farming practices and consumption habits, and that’s the focus of Croots Farm Shop and Cafe. The family-run business works hard to reduce food miles, food waste and plastic packaging, as well as rearing grass-fed livestock as a way to offset the carbon they produce. Owner and Managing Director Kay Croots gives us an insight into the ethos of the company and their efforts to protect the environment for future generations.</p><p>Find out more about Croots Cafe and Farm Shop</p><p><a href="https://croots.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://croots.co.uk/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaycroot/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/kaycroot/</a></p><p><br></p><p>This podcast is brought to you by the University of Derby</p><p><a href="https://www.derby.ac.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.derby.ac.uk/</a></p><p><br></p><p>And the Low Carbon Business Network</p><p><a href="https://www.lowcarbonbusiness.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.lowcarbonbusiness.net/</a></p><p><br></p><p>The DE-Carbonise programme was a collaboration between the University of Derby, Derby City and Derbyshire County Councils, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) between 2016-2022.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We'd love to hear more about your business.

Nature-based Regeneration with Jamie Quince-Starkey

<p>The future of conservation relies on an enduring relationship between humankind and the natural world. Those who are more in tune with their natural surroundings are more likely to behave positively towards the environment, wildlife and habitats. Jamie Quince-Starkey is the founder of Down to Earth Derby, a company that seeks to connect people with nature, their community and themselves. Starting out as a small community on a local allotment, the company uses nature-based projects to incite, empower and inspire the people of Derby and beyond. We had a conversation with Jamie about their exciting plans to revolutionise urban environments.&nbsp;</p><p>Find out more about Down to Earth Derby</p><p><a href="https://www.dtederby.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.dtederby.org/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-quince-starkey-35a7a4224/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-quince-starkey-35a7a4224/</a></p><p><br></p><p>This podcast is brought to you by the University of Derby</p><p><a href="https://www.derby.ac.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.derby.ac.uk/</a></p><p><br></p><p>And the Low Carbon Business Network</p><p><a href="https://www.lowcarbonbusiness.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.lowcarbonbusiness.net/</a></p><p><br></p><p>The DE-Carbonise programme was a collaboration between the University of Derby, Derby City and Derbyshire County Councils, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) between 2016-2022.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We'd love to hear more about your business.

Fighting Plastic Waste with Simon Irons

<p>The eye-watering results of Greenpeace’s recent Big Plastic Count show that, of 100 billion pieces of plastic packaging thrown away by households across the country every year, just 12% is recycled here in the UK. We sat down with plastic-free entrepreneur Simon Irons to talk about the big issues. After a career in buying and supply chain management for large businesses such as Asda, Argos and Halfords, Simon turned the skills he learned in the corporate world towards reducing the mass of plastic packaging that families in Derbyshire are throwing away every week from their grocery shop.</p><p>Find out more about Simon</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonirons/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonirons/</a></p><p><br></p><p>This podcast is brought to you by the University of Derby</p><p><a href="https://www.derby.ac.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.derby.ac.uk/</a></p><p><br></p><p>And the Low Carbon Business Network</p><p><a href="https://www.lowcarbonbusiness.net/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.lowcarbonbusiness.net/</a></p><p><br></p><p>The DE-Carbonise programme was a collaboration between the University of Derby, Derby City and Derbyshire County Councils, funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) between 2016-2022.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>We'd love to hear more about your business.
