Farmer Martin Lines, chair of the Nature Friendly Farming Network, puts forward the case for a robust payment framework to incentivise carbon sequestration in UK agriculture. Pricing greenhouse gas emissions at a level that is consistent with net zero opens new routes for a lucrative market in 'negative' carbon emissions.
