Reaching a podcast milestone with episode 200, Ben and Will are joined by Eddie Rixon, a sheep and beef farmer from Oxfordshire and a Land Use Adviser with the Forestry Commission; as well as Emma Turnock, Consultant with Kite to talk about carbon markets. Eddie explains a bit about his own business and how they are utilising natural capital markets for alternative income streams and insetting carbon within their own farm to improve the carbon balance. Emma discusses the potential opportunities for carbon markets, what farmers could be considering, especially for otherwise unprofitable land and what we can learn from the markets elsewhere Europe. They discuss UK wide market regulation and schemes that farmers can benefit from and what opportunities are out there for farmers to ‘inset’ their own carbon, using nature based solutions to help mitigate climate change and manage land to climate goals.
