“Because the numbers involved will be significantly higher, we will benefit from economies of scale, and we will have a competitive process to get the price down further from where it was last year,” he said.

Costs associated with training, and the advisor’s costs associated with completing the carbon navigator are paid separately from the €142.50 and €120 per hectare payments which farmers will receive in the BDGP.
