Repurpose council farmland/grazing land to nature recovery (rewilding/woodland creation/habitat restoration)

Repurposing grazing land for nature recovery addresses the significant environmental impacts of current agricultural practices, such as high greenhouse gas emissions and excessive land use. By restoring habitats on former grazing lands, ecosystems can regain resilience, support biodiversity, and contribute to climate mitigation through carbon sequestration and reduced emissions, as evidenced by the potential for land use reduction and vegetation regrowth to remove billions of metric tons of CO2 equivalent annually.
