Growing tea plant in Wales
Project will explore the potential to grow tea plants on a hill farm in Wales. Land geospatial analysis technology will be used to identify areas the crop is most likely to thrive and produce optimal yield.The project will record phenotypic traits and the economic analysis of growing tea. The project has already attracted high interest. This TOF will contribute to the Sustainable Land Management outcomes including:
- Resilient and productive farms
- Reduce, reuse and recycle inputs, nutrients and waste
- Reduce on farm emissions and maximise carbon sequestration
- Protect and enhance the farm ecosystem
- Benefit people, animals and places
