ARTICLES and PAPERS
Enhancing soil carbon is now recognised globally as excellent for improving productivity, profit and building landscape resilience. Building soil carbon is a huge opportunity to reduce past carbon emissions and through increasing resilience, reduce the impact of drought and climate change. Furthermore, enhancing soil carbon improves the digestibility of the diet for/(available to) ruminant animals (sheep, cattle & goats) and so reduces the amount of (the greenhouse gas) methane they produce per kg of production.
As this and other associated debates progress we will continue to produce papers, contribute to publications and respond to questions and requests for information.
