In this panel session we discuss a new report, Natural Capital: what farmers and policy makers need to know, which seeks to understand how new and emerging markets in natural capital fit into a changing landscape for farmers. The report was commissioned by the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission – it was written by Professor Fergus Lyon and Dr Amy Burnett from Middlesex University – and it was supported by the Prince’s Countryside Fund.

Professor Fergus Lyon – author of the report – and director of the Centre for Enterprise, Environment and Development Research at Middlesex University.

Lucy Bates -co-lead for the Farming Transition Programme at the Food, Farming and Countryside Commission.

And Charlie Davis, a partner at Sylvestris Land Management, a land and rural business consultancy specialising in environmental land management.
