I have been approached by my STEPS adviser from Severn Trent Water with an offer that might be interesting.
Severn Trent have teamed up with https://agreena.com/ . For 1 year ST will cover your subscription (€100/month) to their service and may offer a reduced rate in subsequent years.
The idea is you commit a field(s) to a five year agreement to not plough and for that you get a carbon credit worth approximately £30/ha. You could get more money if you are direct drilling and cover cropping.
Please be aware that this will effectively exclude you from renting that field for potatoes or salad crops.
This includes fields not in the priority catchment.
Very sparse level of details at present, but might well fit in with my Bumblebee farming.....
Not a massive amount, but if I am already doing what ios wanted, may well be worth a look... Anyone come across Agreena before?
