A natural capital approach helps decision-makers understand the economic value of the benefits we receive from the natural world, so that its value is properly accounted for alongside other considerations. The government recognises the role of natural capital in valuing agricultural products and is funding research projects to better understand the natural capital impacts in the agricultural sector.
