• Emily Norton, Savills talks about understanding what you have by accounting for Natural Capital, which is key to supporting the recognition and reward that is needed for ‘good farming’
• Prof David Hill, Environment Bank explores practical and effective compensation solutions for regenerating biodiversity for landowners and farmers.
• Guy Thompson, Entrade reviews the opportunities for farmers in water, nitrates and carbon trading and sequestration funding.
