06/01/22 - The power of Natural Capital, ethical food businesses and future farm payments
Charlotte Smith hears about the power of Natural Capital and what carbon offsetting could mean for UK agriculture.
The Oxford Farming Conference Report this year looks at the carbon offsetting market and the opportunities for farmers to provide carbon sequestration services, as well as how land is being used to reach the Government鈥檚 Net Zero targets.
"Sustainable" and "ethical" are two big buzzwords in food at the moment, but with the recent collapse of Farmdrop - a company which linked small farms and food producers with consumers - and the rising cost of living what鈥檚 the outlook for food businesses which challenge the status quo?
And more details on future farm payment schemes in England that will replace the EU鈥檚 Common Agricultural Policy are being released.
Presented by Charlotte Smith
Produced for 大象传媒 Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons and Beatrice Fenton.
