Sir Partha DasGupta, Frank Ramsey Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Cambridge, discusses the economic significance of natural capital. He highlights how ecosystems, including farmland and forests, have historically been overlooked in economic considerations.

In his article, "Nature's Role in Sustainable Economic Development," published in Philosophical Transactions B for the Royal Society's 350th anniversary, Sir Partha advocates for integrating nature into economic development. Wendy Barnaby interviews him in a podcast about these crucial insights.
