Watch our latest webinar: Understanding nature markets

Nature markets are offering new opportunities for farmers and landowners in the UK.

In this ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Guardian webinar, the panellists explored what carbon credits are, how to create them and how to capitalise on this growing market.

This session also talked about how carbon credits are created, who the key players are in the UK market, and what opportunities exist for different farming systems. Alongside the potential benefits, we will discuss the risks, regulations, and long-term commitments involved, helping attendees make informed decisions before entering the market.

Whether you are already exploring environmental schemes or are new to the concept of carbon trading, this webinar provided clear, practical insight into how nature markets could fit into your farm business and how to capitalise on this growing opportunity.
