A major delivery strand within the Partnership is sustainable agriculture; in particular, addressing the environmental impacts that the UK agricultural sector has on soil health, water quality, biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions. Methane reducing feed additives and technologies seem to hold a lot of promise and provide a significant opportunity to decarbonise agriculture. However, the delivery of such promise must be based on robust and transparent science in order to be trusted. Consequently, the WWF and Tesco Partnership wishes commission a consultancy to explore the levels of scientific rigour and openness in the growing methane reducing feed additive (and associated technologies) market, and to establish a set of criteria which should be considered 'best practice', which can be used to inform stakeholders interested in this sector. ### Skill Set Required for Consultant/Consortium • Expert knowledge and experience across all aims and objectives. • Understanding of UK ruminant sector production, structure and processes. • Expert knowledge of agri-GHGs, enteric fermentation, methane, the decarbonisation of agriculture and the climate impact of ruminant agriculture • Understanding of UK agriculture and climate policy. • Understanding of the UK dairy, beef and lamb supply chains • Understanding of the climate targets of UK food businesses, and the monitoring, reporting and verification of Scope 3 emissions. • Specific skills: • ability to undertake scientific, rigorous research on sensitive subjects. • in-depth expertise in crystallising complex findings into key deliverable actions. • ability to synthesise and communicate complex findings and results into clear language suitable for diverse audiences. • track-record in delivering meetings/workshops to a hybrid model. • Any subject matter bias or conflict of interest should be declared. Given the range of skills required, consortia proposals will be welcomed, provided they have a clear, lead consultant.
