Agriculture-related activities have a significant impact on biodiversity simply because of the land and resources needed for food production.
This session will explore examples of how government grants and private sector income from carbon and biodiversity credit schemes can be blended as part of Landscape Recovery schemes and private sector programmes.
Best practice examples of how biodiversity can be restored in both terrestrial and marine contexts will be discussed.
