Recommendation 14

14

Undertake thorough review of incentives for allocating private land to nature recovery

Recommendation
We recommend that as part of the forthcoming Land Use Framework the Government undertake a thorough review of its approach to incentivising the allocation of privately held land to nature recovery, in particular in respect of changes of use of agricultural land to deliver more environmental benefits alongside agricultural production, or in respect of changes away from agricultural use. This should include a review of current barriers to the supply of land for nature recovery projects supported by private investment. (Recommendation, Paragraph 88)
