FUNDING FOR NATURAL CAPITAL
Agri-environment schemes or private money? Insetting or offsetting? Our environmental advisors are dedicated to helping farmers and landowners access payments for environmental benefits and maintaining or improving natural resources that provide value to the farm business and wider society.
01
Focus on your farm business. Set long-term goals and make changes that reduce costs and increase resilience. Only then consider external opportunities.
03
Think stacking. You may be providing a range of valuable goods including carbon, biodiversity, water quality, amenity and marketing.
02
Get a baseline. Knowing what natural capital you already have, and its condition, is key - and Oakbank environmental advisors are here to help!
04
Don't do it alone. Assessing the best deal for your farm business, contract negotiation and landscape-scale action are just a few examples.
