This lively discussion will focus on the value of species-rich grassland for nature, climate and people. We’ll discuss their ecosystem services, benefits at farm-level (eg climate, resilience, cost saving) and their wider contribution to public goods (flood mitigation, soil conservation, biodiversity). The session will cover evidence on carbon storage and sequestration potential, and implications of management approaches; and panellists will reflect on how farmers can incorporate species-rich grasslands into their business and access public and private funding.
