The GrowSave project has previously been focused solely on horticulture - protected edible, protected ornamentals, and soft fruit crops - but as energy saving and management is clearly critical across wider AHDB sectors the project has now been expanded into the Cereals, Dairy, Pork and Potato sectors.

• Access the latest technical information on energy saving techniques and technologies to cut use and cost
• Find information on energy security and volatile market prices 
• Explore how agriculture and horticulture can start to move towards becoming ‘zero carbon’ industries
• Find out about upcoming events, workshops and study tours.

Why is the GrowSave project in place?

All farming and growing systems rely on energy use - from storage facilities for crops such as potatoes and cereals and apples; through to lighting systems in livestock and climate control technology in protected horticulture. All of these systems will use electricity, for example through pumps, fans, fences, refrigeration, dryers etc. and so topics such as energy markets, current legislation and alternative sources of energy are important for all AHDB levy payers.

GrowSave aims to be your one-stop shop for all things energy related.
