A new approach to agri-environment schemes, based on payment by results, is being investigated in a pilot project by Scotland’s Nature agency, NatureScot.    In this podcast, senior conservation consultant at SAC Consulting, Paul Chapman, speaks to NatureScot’s Kirsten Brewster and Kay Prichard to find out more about how this approach works and how it differs from the prescriptive agri-environment schemes that farmers are currently used to.
