Our agriculture can - and needs to - deliver more for climate and nature. Incentives, regulation and advice will be key levers in supporting that change.

Much talk just now about the fledgling carbon credit market. Real risks for farmers and crofters. Wise to act with caution until there is greater clarity over issues such as ownership of these credits and the need to retain them to offset emissions from their own business.
