EFG supporting businesses with Net Zero and Nature Recovery
"In Warwickshire and the wider Central England region, farmers have already mobilised more than 60,000 hectares to map opportunities and bring forward new carbon, biodiversity and water quality projects."
Environmental Farmers Group (EFG) is a national, 100% farmer‑owned cooperative covering more than 400,000 hectares of UK farmland to deliver credible, landscape‑scale environmental outcomes alongside sustainable food production.
With farmers managing 72% of UK land, they are uniquely positioned to drive the transition to net zero and nature recovery. By coordinating environmental delivery across hundreds of farms, EFG ensures that businesses can work through a single, reliable point of contact whether they are sourcing carbon credits, securing BNG units or supporting wider environmental outcomes.
Central England Spotlight
In Warwickshire and the wider Central England region, farmers have already mobilised more than 60,000 hectares to map opportunities and bring forward new carbon, biodiversity and water quality projects. This offers corporates and developers a local, transparent and impactful route to meeting environmental goals while directly supporting the farming communities who care for our landscapes.
Whether you are a business seeking traceable carbon credits, or a developer navigating BNG requirements, EFG provides the scale, confidence and integrity needed to deliver long-lasting change.
Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) - Delivering Credible, Local Solutions for BNG
As the planning system tightens around environmental requirements, developers and infrastructure organisations are increasingly seeking trusted, scalable partners to help deliver BNG and wider natural capital commitments.
EFG brings together thousands of hectares of farmer-owned land to offer developers a simple, transparent route to BNG delivery, with projects shaped around local priorities and long-term environmental improvement.
EFG’s farmer members are already bringing forward habitat creation and restoration projects designed to deliver measurable ecological uplift. For developers, this means access to ready-to-go, technically robust units, strong governance, and a partner committed to delivering impact at landscape scale.
Carbon - Driving Landscape-Scale Climate Action Through Soil Carbon
By changing farming practices, such as reducing cultivations, increasing cover cropping and enhancing soil health, EFG members are increasing the amount of carbon stored in soils. Through EFG, businesses can confidently purchase verified, UK-based soil carbon credits backed by rigorous sampling methodologies and long-term monitoring. This provides organisations with a credible, high‑impact way to reduce their climate footprint while directly supporting rural resilience.
