Environmental Markets Leadership Program

About the program

The Environmental Markets Leadership Program (EMLP) is designed to inspire and support a network of land managers and farmers with the knowledge, skills, confidence and aspirations to play a leading role in environmental markets. It will support them to identify, market and benefit from the sustainable land management and environmental services they generate. This will increase the protection, restoration and enhancement of our environment and future-proof land and farm productivity, resilience, and profitability.

The program will:

  • Create a network and community of practice of leaders from the agriculture and land management sector that will inspire and support each other on their natural capital and environmental market journey

  • Build their knowledge and skills in the fundamentals of natural capital, ecosystem services, environmental services and related market based mechanisms

  • Encourage participants to envision the future role of land managers and farmers in protecting, restoring and enhancing natural capital, ecosystem services and environmental services

  • Build the confidence of participants to drive the development of new and innovative private market mechanisms and influence existing regulated market mechanisms

  • Connect participants with environmental market stakeholders

  • Encourage and support the network to engage the broader agricultural and land management community

  • Use a behaviour change approach to create behavioural and systemic change

In the long-term, the EMLP aims to catalyse a transition to a new era of innovative agriculture and land management where protecting and enhancing natural capital and ecosystem services is part of everyday operations.
