About
This webinar brings together different perspectives – industry, research, and finance – to explore these questions together. Starting from Arla’s Nature Strategy as a real-world case study, the session moves into the science of measuring biodiversity outcomes in a way that’s scientifically robust, the financing mechanisms that do (and don’t) change behaviour on the ground, and what it actually takes to design a farm-level incentive scheme that is credible, scalable, and fair.
