If you are keen to know more about the fundamentals of building soil carbon on your farm AgriProve is running the ideal webinar course for you.

Join us for a seven-part series to discover how to grow soil carbon on your farm, with highly regarded soil scientist Declan McDonald. Declan will explore how to use all the regenerative tools at your disposal to improve soil organic matter and carbon in your soils.

Declan is a professional soil scientist with over 30 years’ experience in agricultural and horticultural soil management and has extensive experience in regenerative agriculture in NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.

Declan will dig into the science behind growing soil organic carbon, how to implement regenerative management techniques, and how to monitor and measure your success. Improving soil health and building soil carbon can improve the productivity of your soils, and you can earn carbon credits for the carbon you produce.

The seven-part webinar series will support farmers participating in or interested in a soil carbon project. The series will cover best practice conventional and regenerative soil management to suit your soils, climate and enterprise.
