In this episode of the Natural Capital podcast, Harry Fisher and Iain Boyd discuss the new report from the Scottish Government; The Importance of Natural Capital to the Scottish Economy – A Regional Analysis. The report estimates that Scotland’s natural capital underpins at least £40 billion of economic output (14% of the total economy) and supports 260,000 jobs. The discussion highlights the sectors of the economy heavily dependent on healthy ecosystems, and explores how reliance varies across regions, the areas most dependent and how to manage the risks. We discuss the many ecosystem services provided which are irreplaceable, the importance of valuing, looking after and investing in nature and how our natural capital assets are fundamental to economic resilience, rural livelihoods and long-term prosperity. If you’d like to get in touch or find out more about what we have discussed, you can find links in the show notes.

We are joined by environmental historian Dr Ian Maclellan as we wind the clock back through Scotland’s long history of land use change: from the ice age to the Romans, clearances, industrialisation and modern pressures. Along the way, we unpack how humans have been part of the landscape – managing it for food, livelihoods and leisure, and the consequences this has had on nature and biodiversity. Scotland’s landscapes are often seen as wild and timeless, but people and the land have shaped one another over thousands of years. We discuss this and how understanding yesterday can help us make better decisions for the future. Challenging us to have more nuanced, informed conversations about land restoration and management today - recognising complexity, positive outcomes, unintended consequences, and the realities of climate, culture and history.

In this episode of Natural Capital, Harry Fisher and Alex Pirie reflect on their time at Scotland’s first Nature Friendly Farming Summit. The summit explored how to scale nature-friendly farming to deliver for people, nature and climate and brought together farmers, policymakers, researchers, and environmental leaders to discuss how Scotland can build a resilient, nature-positive farming future. The summit addressed how nature and profitability are not opposites and showed how the path to a thriving, nature-friendly farming future is already taking shape.  Harry and Alex explore the main themes from the day, from farmers as stewards of the land, how profitability and biodiversity can go hand in hand and set the scene on biodiversity loss, climate pressures, and the need to de-risk nature-based solutions. The episode also looks at the future of funding, how current and new payment systems can reward environmental outcomes and discusses some of the key messages and announcements made on the day.  Host Harry Fisher, Producer Iain Boyd, Editor Kieron Sim, Executive Producers Kerry Hammond & Kirstyn Blackwood  Related FAS resources:    FAS Environment - https://www.fas.scot/environment/   NC LENs episode - https://www.fas.scot/podcast/natural-capital-landscape-enterprise-networks-leven-lens/   NC John and Louise Seed Woodend episode - https://www.fas.scot/podcast/arable/   Thrill of the Hill - https://www.fas.scot/sounds/thrill-of-the-hill/     Other Related Resources:  Nature Friendly Farming Network - https://www.nffn.org.uk/   Minister for Agriculture speech - https://www.gov.scot/publications/minister-for-agriculture-speech-nature-friendly-farming-network-summit/   RSPB article on summit - https://www.rspb.org.uk/scotland/news/nature-friendly-farming-summit-scotland   AECS announcement - https://www.ruralpayments.org/news-events/ministers-have-confirmed-the-2026-round-of-the-agri-environment-climate-scheme--aecs-.html   Alex Pirie - https://www.sruc.ac.uk/all-unearthed-posts/meet-the-consultant-alex-pirie/   Timestamps:  0:56 – 6:10 Intro to summit, nature friendly farming and setting the scene  6:11 – 25:26 Range of different farmers, organisations and messages from speakers and exhibitors   25:27 – 29:10 Policy, government messages and funding announcements  29:10 – 35:04 Landscape scale initiatives and LENs  35:05 – end.

Measuring and accounting for biodiversity across farmlands is becoming increasingly important. Environmental DNA (eDNA) involves collecting genetic material from environmental samples like water and soil to detect what species are present. It is a tool that is growing in popularity, that can give insights into the range and distribution of species found across a landscape, assess ecosystem health, and track biodiversity changes over time.   We discuss the role this technology can have in biodiversity baselining with Kevin Fennelly and George Muscatt  from NatureMetrics. NatureMetrics is a global nature intelligence technology company who pioneer the use of innovative methods for biodiversity monitoring. We assess how eDNA works and the role this technology could have across diverse landscapes, including its benefits and limitations, and how it can help understand and manage biodiversity.  Host Harry Fisher, Producer Iain Boyd, Editor Kieron Sim, Executive Producer Kirstyn Blackwood  Timestamps:  1:11 – 7:55 intros to speakers and what is eDNA  7:56 – 25:38 what can it discover and how does it work  21:37 – 36:18 what is driving demand and nature based risks  36:19 – 47:46 benefits for farms, companies and food production  Related FAS resources:    Biodiversity On Your Farm | Helping farmers in Scotland | Farm Advisory Service Habitat And Landscape Management | Helping farmers in Scotland | Farm Advisory Service FAS Sounds | Helping farmers in Scotland | Farm Advisory Service Other Related Resources:  eDNA Biodiversity Monitoring Case Studies eDNA & Biodiversity Monitoring for Regenerative Agriculture Kevin Fennelly - [email protected]
