Abstract
There is growing recognition that perennial biomass crops (PBC) could complement, rather than compete with, other land uses through multifunctional land strategies. Integrating PBC into farming systems, in ways that are profitable, resilient, and locally appropriate will require new business models and markets, including private and public ecosystem service payments. Combining these with PBC energy feedstock payments allows diversification of revenue streams in a challenging post-transit transition environment, at an individual farm business or landscape scale. This project identified strategies for integrating PBC into farming systems at farm and landscape level and public and private sector mechanisms to support this. It conducted substantive qualitative research drawing on farmer and stakeholder interview and workshop analysis. The research is presented in four reports, Report 4 provides a synthesis of all the results. Report authors are Natasha Stonebridge, Julie Ingram and Jane Mills This research was funded by a Flexibility Fund award within the BBSRC funded project Perennial Biomass Crops 4 Greenhouse Gas Removal (https://pbc4ggr.org.uk/) , part of the Greenhouse Gas Removal Demonstrator Programme.
