Supporting nature-friendly farming & profitability

Agri-environment schemes provide funding to farmers and land managers to farm in a way that supports biodiversity, enhances the landscape, and improves the quality of water, air and soil.


With the additional pressure that is being placed upon land-based businesses to demonstrate environmental credibility, agri-environment schemes may provide the perfect opportunity to meet these requirements whilst also enhancing income streams.

Balancing nature & farming

Our team has over 50 years of combined experience working on agri-environment schemes both directly for farmers and landowners as well as strategic roles for associated government bodies including Natural England. This gives us a unique understanding of the schemes. Our aim is to protect and enhance our natural environment while supporting productive, profitable and sustainable food production.
