Description

This is the first of 11 programmes in a series called Filling the Funding Gap.

Throughout the series we'll discuss how natural capital markets work and whether they can help farmers to bridge the gap between public payments and the real costs of transition towards resilient and regenerative food production.

In this introductory programme we're taking a broad overview - discussing what we mean by natural capital markets - the extent to which they currently function - and we'll consider some of the ethical dimensions of monetising the natural world in the first place.

Featuring:

Martin Lines, Chief Executive of the Nature Friendly Farming Network

Peter Harker, a partner at Saffrey

Tom Johnstone from We Are Nature-Based

With ffinlo Costain, Editor of 8point9.com
