Land use

HDCCC will promote sustainable innovations in agriculture and promote net zero in land use by protecting and enhancing key natural assets in such a way that supports sustainable food production whilst fostering resilience and promoting biodiversity.

HDCCC will seek to ensure that the unique local landscapes in Harrogate District are managed in a way which maximises opportunities for natural carbon capture and storage in peatlands, woodlands, and other natural ecosystems.
