NativState delivers! with high-quality forest-based carbon credits! So far, we've verified and sold carbon credits on approximately 18,000 acres of sustainably managed forestland across southern Arkansas, generating additional income for family forest landowners through the creation of an estimated 1,500,000 carbon credits over the next twenty years. https://hubs.li/Q02Hv2s60
As the mass cleanup gets underway following another successful Glastonbury weekend, it’s easy to forget that this iconic music festival is an example of farm diversification!
At Newton LDP, we understand that diversification can be a valuable way to generate additional income, support core farming or estate activities, offset reducing subsidies and mitigate some of the increasing agricultural volatility. And remember, it doesn’t have to be on the scale of Glastonbury.
With updates to planning policy, changing lifestyle trends, and a growing focus on natural capital and net zero, new opportunities are emerging for rural businesses.
Key considerations for successful diversification include:
🔹 Integration with existing farming enterprises
🔹 Complementing the skillsets of key personnel
🔹 Leveraging unique assets and local markets
🔹 Investigating any funding, marketing, planning and taxation
implications
Our expert team at Newton LDP has extensive experience in helping farmers and landowners optimise their resources and implement viable diversification projects.

This report completely backs up the approach taken by most of our Local Authorities in Wales who do separate collections, not co-mingled, across all demographics and housing types. Seeing this sparked the following analogy conversation with two ex-waste colleagues.
"Colleague A: If you have a pile of gravel and a pile of soil for two different jobs in the bottom of the garden you don't mix them in the same barrow and then screen them out at the bottom and expect them to be uncontaminated. It takes extra resource and energy, and it doesn't work.
Colleague B: Actually, you might mix them in the same barrow if the householder is paying you for the extra energy and time involved. You could also use the material to cover a dead pet or two - and add charges of course!
Colleague A: A fair point, especially if you have a 25 year payback period on a soil-gravel separation unit."
Hello Greater Lincolnshire LEP,
At Mind Bicycle, we strive to stay ahead of the curve and embrace disruption head-on. Tammy Dawson - Doughty, an integral part of our Lincolnshire community, highlights the significance of our land, which has given us so much for decades and made us a key player in the UK’s food security.
Times move on, needs change, and demand increases. More than ever, we need to secure not only our food supply in these uncertain times but also the energy to power our homes. Due to its location and abundance of land, our landscape is set to be profoundly impacted by a network of new pylons that will be built directly through our fields.
Now is not the time to halt progress. We need this vital energy to secure our future. Lincolnshire has the opportunity to be at the forefront of agritech, innovation, and AI. Yes, it is the cheapest option, and burying these cables would cost three to five times more and take even longer to build and become operational.
However, as we look to the future of our food and energy security, we should consider hyper-local circular economies to provide solutions for our growing needs. Let’s think outside the box and explore projects like Jack's Solar Garden, where local communities can take ownership of the food and energy they produce and share in the opportunities this will create.
It’s time to leave the past behind, embrace the present, and lean into the future.
