Significant changes in rural policy and land management have brought both challenges and new opportunities for farmers and landowners. Natural capital refers to the environmental value of the land — such as wildlife habitats, moorland for flood and water management, reed beds for natural sewage treatment, and carbon capture through wetlands and trees.

Biodiversity net gain (BNG) is an increase in biodiversity that development sites are legally bound to provide. With the rules now extended to include smaller sites and major infrastructure projects in 2025, many developers are seeking off-site solutions to meet their obligations.
