Farmers work hard to protect the environment and the National Farmers’ Union have pledged to make farming carbon neutral by 2040.
Design a farming machine for 2040 and explain its benefits for the environment.
Alongside your design, we would like you to submit an advertisement for your product that explains its benefits. You could present this as a poster, video, persuasive letter, presentation, speech- however you like!
We’ll be judging the entries based on four criteria: how well you’ve solved the problem, creativity & innovation, the environmental impact of your design and the benefits the design will have for farmers and food producers.
