Get the Dirt on Soil Carbon with Professor Richard Bell
In the second episode of Wheatbelt NRM in the Field we dig back into soil, with another episode of Get the Dirt - hosted by Aimee Mouritz with Professor Richard Bell from Murdoch University and Soil CRC.
This interview discusses new farming methods designed to increase soil carbon, reduce green house gas emissions, and improve soil fertility across Western Australia’s Wheatbelt.
From deep sands to clay-rich soils, Richard outlines practical ways farmers can slow carbon loss and build soil fertility.
