Sandy FAQs
-
Beyond food production, farmers offer greater ‘public goods’ through their management of the land and environmental stewardship.
Natural capital can be defined as the Earth’s stock of natural resources and environmental assets that have a practical and social value for people.
Examples of natural capital at a farm level include: soil, water, air, wildlife (biodiversity), trees and carbon-capturing plants, moors and peatlands, historical features, and public access (footpaths and bridleways).
Farmers have always taken pride in their role in protecting the environment, but greater public awareness and government targets to reduce the impact on the planet has brought the issue into focus.
While natural capital benefits farmers on a private level, the concept of adding a monetary value to natural capital creates an opportunity for farmers to futureproof their businesses and be rewarded for their work in improving natural assets which have a wider benefit to society.
But to do this, you need a tool that can credibly analyse and demonstrate your impact by providing a natural capital audit and baseline.
-
Farmers are facing increasing pressure from government and private markets to protect the natural environment. With subsidies in decline, long-term business stability needs to be the focus.
Understanding your natural capital makes good business sense.
In the future, you can expect natural capital to appear on the balance sheet and be valued in the same way as traditional farm assets. Being able to put a true value on this, by credibly measuring the worth of your natural capital is essential for seizing opportunities and improving your bottom line.
We urge farmers not to wait for policy to catch up, and to get ahead of the curve by using Sandy to complete a natural capital audit to understand the full scale, value and options of the natural assets on your farm.
Looking at your farm though a natural capital lens opens new avenues for increasing profits, setting and meeting sustainability targets, making greater efficiencies and cost savings, and remaining compliant with regulations.
We believe farmers should be rewarded for their stewardship in protecting the land for future generations. Ultimately, natural capital is a solution for creating financial, social and environmental resilience for your farm business.
