Transition Agriculture

Carbon farming: how to seize the opportunities and avoid the pitfalls


Listen Later

Carbon is set to become an increasingly important revenue stream for farmers over the coming years.

Whether it being paid to off-set carbon emissions on behalf of somebody else or reducing  your own on-farm emissions, the possibilities seem endless.

But it is a fledging market and it can be confusing – and often daunting

So how do you make money from carbon – what are the opportunities and how do you avoid the pitfalls?

To answer these questions and more, we are  joined by four experts:

  • Emily Norton is head of rural research, energy & projects at farm business consultants and land agency Savills
  • Rory Geldard is commercial manager for NRM, part of Cawood, the independent soil  testing laboratory
  • David McCulloch is head of CarbonStore at forestry management company Tilhill 
  • Juan Palomares, managing director for Trinity Natural Capital Markets 

Transition Agriculture is the Farmers Weekly podcast for farmers seeking to secure a more sustainable future for their farm business.

This episode is hosted by Johann Tasker. For more details about the Farmers Weekly Transition, visit fwi.co.uk/transition.
