This module is a 2-part video series exploring how nature can benefit your farm.
It is designed to help you:

In part one, Gloria helps you understand the jargon used by government funding schemes, private investors, and nature markets. She will cover biodiversity, ecosystems, ecosystem services, and natural capital and explore the pressures on nature. Understanding these terms and pressures will help boost your confidence when applying for schemes.
In part two, Tanis helps you recognise and value the natural assets on your farm and explains how to start improving your business profitability through enhancing nature.
