We must take advantage of leaving CAP and design policies that can address the financial and non-financial barriers to drive the transition. These include: • Develop a private sector funding mechanism to deliver afforestation (e.g. carbon trading scheme); and public funding to encourage the non-carbon benefits of afforestation. • Public funding for peatland restoration, agroforestry, and the take-up of low-carbon farming practices that go beyond the regulatory baseline. • Enabling policies: e.g. addressing skills shortages in forestry and peatland restoration; increasing tree nursery capacity, upskilling farmers and crofters to grow and manage energy crops, and resolving tenancy constraints to facilitate tree planting and other forms of land use change. • Whether the CCC has considered the implications for biodiversity from its pathway for agriculture, and how any negative implications could be mitigated: – The agriculture and land pathways as set out for the 6th Carbon Budget recognise strategic priorities for land alongside climate mitigation measures, including food production, housing and economic and social uses, a range of environmental services and biodiversity.
