Episode 28: Chris Sparrow, Co-Founder Director, Environmental Farmers Group
The Environmental Farmers Group (EFG) is a new co-operative for UK farmers – led by farmers – that collectively trades natural capital. It is already securing trades for phosphate reduction and employs an equalisation model so that farmers of all sizes in the co-operative benefit, and to ensure that landscape scale environmental improvements are being made. Chris Sparrow, Co-Founder Director of EFG, joins us this week to walk through the model and why it’s gaining increasing attraction from farmers across the UK.
