Lantra CEO Nick Juba joined BBC Radio 4's Farming Today programme to discuss our new research highlighting a growing “skills squeeze” in the land-based industries. 🌳

Despite clear job opportunities, too few people are entering the sector - highlighting the need to build a resilient skills system that enables a productive and sustainable land-based economy, which can deliver on national priorities like net zero, biodiversity and food security.

Otters aren’t just a feel‑good wildlife moment on your feed, they’re a sign of healthy rivers and thriving ecosystems 🦦

But these habitats don’t stay that way without care. Pressures like pollution and habitat loss continue to impact both wildlife and the land-based industries that depend on them.

Good land management makes the difference:

🌱 Protecting water quality
🌾 Restoring habitats
🌍 Supporting biodiversity

At Lantra, we support the skills behind this, from conservation and land management to working safely around water, helping protect the environments wildlife depends on.

Because when the land thrives, everything thrives!
