[QUOTE="Brisel, post: 7422166, member: 166"] Create schemes and the schemers will dive into them. 'Twas ever thus. Virtue signalling? Yep. Nice PR campaign saying what good you're doing by offsetting with X acres of trees here and Y acres of biodiversity there and Z tonnes of carbon sequestered there, whilst still producing goods as cheaply as possible. That's just my cynical view, but businesses WILL be forced to offset carbon, biodiversity, nutrient pollution (this is where Entrade got started) etc and WE can help with that. A market will develop and farmers will be part of that. Government would like the market to develop by itself - let Jaguar Land Rover sort its own carbon out with private deals rather than Whitehall becoming involved. This is absolutely right. If we let the brokers and polluters work out what it costs to produce these and land occupiers don't capture as much as possible of this value, we will just be left to gather just enough pennies to keep us doing it while others pocket that value. That requires land occupiers to work together for collective bargaining. Not something we have a good track record for. [/QUOTE]
