This report is designed to increase understanding across the financial sector in the UK of how it can support a just transition in agriculture by mobilizing more finance towards companies committed to and making progress to support a "just nature transition".
The report examines social risks and opportunities for stakeholders affected by environmental transitions in UK agriculture (workers, smallholder and tenant farmers, communities and consumers) and sets out why the financial sector should integrate just transition principles into lending and investment decisions and the barriers that exist to a just transition in UK agriculture.
The findings seek to accelerate action in the private finance sector, particularly by those lending to the agricultural and food sector, but also among public finance institutions and policymakers.
