Written by Victoria Bond. First published on 24 May 2024, and most recently revised on 24 Jun 2024.

The Sustainable Farming Scheme consultation outcomes once reviewed could affect the natural capital market, and in our latest webinar, we provide an insight into what a possible future in Wales could look like.

In this discussion available to watch below , we answer questions on what the change means for individual businesses, including:

- What funding is available through the government schemes?

- What are the main private sector market opportunities?

- Do the economics stack up?

- What are the risks and realities of long-term agreements to nature markets?

- What are the legal and tax considerations?

- Where to start if you are interested?

- Case studies in Wales to date

The discussion features guidance from:

- Susan Twining, CLA Chief Land Use Policy Advisor

- Fraser McAuley, CLA Cymru Senior Policy Advisor

- Mark Russell, Rural Partner, Carter Jonas

- Laura Greenman, HCR Law
