Last, but certainly not least, ahead of the Dumfries & Galloway Chamber of Commerce Business Awards we are showcasing the team at Littleton Farm who are part of our nomination for Net Zero Hero.

Littleton Farm operates a cutting-edge 1,800-cow dairy unit powered by a diverse mix of renewables—solar, hydro, wind, anaerobic digestion, and ground source heat pumps—across 3,000+ acres.

The farm has cut electricity costs by 90% and reduced artificial fertiliser use by 20%, with a clear target of reaching net zero by 2045. Alongside its energy strategy, the farm supports biodiversity through tree planting, wild bird strips, and field margins that protect local waterways from nutrient runoff.

In collaboration with academics at University of Strathclyde, Littleton Farm has implemented an advanced energy management system to optimise on-site generation and adapt to future climate conditions. This work forms part of a wider project examining energy demand and flexibility across farms of different scales, aiming to deliver practical recommendations for the sector—from load shifting to smarter tech investments.

An inspiring model of what sustainable agriculture can look like. 🌱⚡

We were all delighted at Littleton to receive the net zero award as part of the digital dairy chain group. 🥛
