Banking On Nature — Only For The Rich?

Restoring nature and sustaining food production are two of the most urgent challenges facing our land today. Join experts in finance, farming, and nature policy as they tackle the ‘land use debate’ — can we restore landscapes for nature while sustaining food production and considering the financial implications of conserving or rewilding land? Is rewilding just for the wealthy or can emerging carbon and biodiversity markets and policies like Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) make it viable for all? This panel dives into real world solutions that balance the urgent need for biodiversity restoration with the realities of farming.
