The Forest Market Report 2025 examines one of the most significant shifts in rural land management: the growing interdependence between forestry and farming.

With increasing pressures from food production, biodiversity targets, carbon markets, and renewable energy, the relationship between traditional farming and commercial forestry is evolving rapidly.

The launch event for the Forest Market Report 2025 will showcase how forestry and farming can thrive together, offering both investors and land managers actionable strategies to unlock financial, environmental, and social value.

For investors, this shift unlocks new opportunities:

• Woodland creation as a diversification strategy that drives asset growth and environmental value
• Access to emerging natural capital markets, biodiversity net gain, and carbon credit revenue
• Insights into farming trends that increasingly influence land valuations and investment decisions

For farmers and estate managers, integrating trees within productive farmland can:

• Diversify income and unlock grant funding
• Enhance soil health and water retention
• Increase resilience to climate and market pressures
• Deliver long-term timber, carbon, and environmental returns
