Save the date: Webinar - Farm planning horizons and the transition to net zero

Save the date- Webinar: Farm planning horizons and the transition to net zero

14 March 13.30-15.00

Organised by the  LUNZ Hub Enabling transition to net zero Topic Advisory Group
Opportunities and requirements for net zero transition at farm level can require new planning horizons and often long-term commitments. These do not always align with farm planning cycles, family succession, business plans and farm tenancies, and can have implications for land value and inheritance tax management.

In this webinar three expert speakers will each take a different perspective on these issues, followed by a panel discussion and Q&A.

This webinar is for all land use stakeholders interested in the topic of enabling transition to net zero.

The presentations are:
