Beyond the Surface: Understanding Soil Carbon for Healthy Soils & a Healthy Bottom Line.
Explore Soil Carbon Conservation with Industry Experts.
Understanding soil carbon and carbon neutral agriculture is critical for informed decision-making in contemporary farming and land management. This interactive event is your opportunity to understand how to measure, track and build soil carbon content on your own or your client’s land.
This unique SMART Session will be an insightful discussion on the importance of carbon as a key metric of healthy productive soils.
Why now?
Because, despite the best intentions, science and innovations over recent years, we still have seen a decline in this fundamental metric in our cropping systems. On top of this, we are experiencing emerging global pressures to lower emissions from inputs, remove CO2 from the atmosphere, feed an ever-growing population - all the while, edging out a profit.
In this event, you’ll learn how to tackle these additional pressures and regain both healthy soils and a healthy bottom line for your farming business - learning directly from two experts working in the field - David Ward, Senior Carbon Agronomist from Loam and the UNE SRI’s very own Sam Duncan, CEO and Founder of FarmLab.
Loam partners with farmers to provide microbial technology and farmer-friendly soil carbon project options to build stable soil carbon in crops. They offer options for farmers who are looking to participate in carbon markets, deliver carbon-neutral produce into a changing supply chain, or future-proof their farm business. Loam's expertise and technology can help farmers start their journey to become carbon neutral.
FarmLab is a platform for agronomists, consultants, and farmers to manage their agronomic and environmental data in one place. The company was founded in 2016 with the goal of digitising the Earth's environment. They use cutting-edge remote sensing and digital mapping techniques to map, sample, and analyse soil nutrients, plant health and water quality.
