UK governments spend around £4 billion a year on farming and nature, but we need a further £4-10 billion a year just to hit our nature and environment targets.

Meanwhile, £11 trillion is managed by the UK's investment industry, and the gap is a rounding error by comparison.

So how do we get more of that capital flowing into nature recovery and agroecological food and farming systems?
