    Sustainability gets talked about a lot in agriculture, but what does it actually mean at the farm gate? For most farmers, the real test is whether sustainable production systems can also deliver profitability. This panel will dig into whether the current signals and markets – natural capital, carbon and beyond – are giving farmers a fair return, or if the value is being captured elsewhere in the supply chain. The conversation will ask whether we’re making genuine headway in linking sustainability with farm profitability, and what needs to change to get there.
